Talk:Pakistan People's Party

message: One problem is that the official name of the party does not have an apostrophe after "people".—iFaqeer (Talk to me!) 19:52, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)
: Yeah, it was the first thing I noticed when I saw the article. I will move the page to Pakistan Peoples Party and have the links point there. Hulleye 07:51, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: So now we know that "The Pakistan People's Party (PPP) is a mainstream political party in Pakistan." But what do they stand for? What are their ideals? Are they right wingers of left wingers? 
That could actually be interesting.

message: Apple Pie, I think it's great that you're from Pakistan and, if so, you could be a very valuable asset to Wikipedia; we don't have a lot of folks from that part of the world editing, and can certainly use more. However, when you insert statements into articles, especially when they are potentially controversial or derogatory, you must, must, must have a source to back you up. If you are so familiar with Pakistan, you ought to be able to come up with a source critical of the PPP. I honestly hope you find one and post something here. I will even help you find one, if one is out there, if you want help. Sound fair? IronDuke 00:11, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The Pakistan Peoples Party (Shaheed Bhutto Group) (PPP-SB) is mentioned in the following articles
</br>Ishaq Khan Khakwani
</br>Ghinwa Bhutto
</br>Shaheed Bhutto presumably refers to the founder of PPP Shaheed (martyr) Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto.  Is PPP-SB a separate faction to PPP or should references to it redirect to this article?
I see that Pakistan People's Party (S) did split away from the PPP and appears on List of political parties in Pakistan. In this article I have put Pakistan People's Party (S) under section: See also and PPP-SB might be put there if a separate article is warranted for it.</br>--User:Brenont (talk) 19:29, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

message: In this article, and most prominently in the ideology-related sections, it appears that some hard-left, POV-pushing editor has been given free reins. Look at this paragraph, for example:
Since then, the Peoples Party has been a leading proponent of democratic socialism with mainstream agenda of social democracy, favouring the semi-secular and semi-Islamic socialist principles. Historically, the Peoples Party favoured the financially stable farmers, industrial labour unions and the middle class elements. The Peoples Party rejected far-left politics and ultra-leftism, supporting unregulated business and finance, laissez-faire capitalism, which caused it to cease being a socialist or social-democratic or even anywhere near the left-of-centre as its economic policies swung dramatically to the right-wing, embracing economic neoliberalism and unfettered capitalism and privatisation of publicly owned institutions, and favoured partial income taxes.
To me, it looks like the first part of that was written by a neutral editor, while the last part was hijacked by a POV-pusher, lashing out against the PPP's alleged rightward shift. Mentioning a rightward shift is perfectly fine if that is indeed what has happened, but the wording of this paragraph, and others, is unacceptable. Adding an issues tag until this is fixed.

message: I have always been a nonpartisan. That said, Bilawal has recently showed enormous promise in a country which always had dearth of leadership. I hope and pray that he is able to reorganize PPP and make it once again a nationwide party. He appears to be a sound parliamentarian at such a young age. I hope he brings democracy within the party itself and ends its dynastic culture after his term as future PM of the country. He is very competent and is always well prepared for his role in the national and international affairs. I hope and pray that he becomes an examplry parliamentarian and ends the filthy culture of using unparliamentary language against opponents which is rampant for many years in our beloved country. Bilawal must understand that leadership means making sacrifices in personal life, living up to the public trust and putting the national interest far above the personal considerations. I hope Pakistan gets rid of hackneyed politicians and young people like Bilawal take the lead to take Pakistan towards a promising future. I must also admit that I had serious reservations when he was made PPP Chairperson after the assassination of BB. It is very encouraging to see that he has made enormous progress in recent years both as a politician and parliamentarian. 203.175.73.119 (talk) 17:27, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
