thread_title: Should it be "Left Bloc"?

message: Paulo Portas is no longer the "right-wing leader".

thread_title: Updates to implement

message: The Left Bloc is mostly a communist party and I'll explain why: they were formed from a merger of PSR (Trotskyist Mandelist), UDP (officially Marxist, Marxist-Leninist inspired) and Politics XXI (Democratic Socialist), but they still belong on the left-wing. — B.Lameira (talk) 23:39, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Position should be Left-wing to far-left.  This addresses the previously expressed concern about the absence of source. Left Bloc lives in a spectrum, so instead of going back and forward with left vs far-left, it should be acknowledged that it contains within it multiple tendencies. Do let me know if you have any improvements to this. Apeximius (talk) 02:54, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Socialists or Communists? 

message: Somebody should pay closer attention to this page, as I am suspicious of these last recent edits are not respecting the neutral point of view. The first paragraph even calls Paulo Portas an "extreme right-wing politician". I also notice there are some syntax errors in the article as well as poor use of English language. I would appreciate that somebody gave some aid on this regard. - B.Lameira (talk) 20:41, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

message: This article states that the Left Bloc entered parliament for the first time in 2006 with 8 MPs. This is factually incorrect, it entered in 1999 with two MPs, which under the Portuguese constituion constituted a parliamentary group with speaking rights in every debate. You can check out the election results on the corresponding Wikipedia page.PhilomenaO'M (talk) 16:08, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: Major Error !?

message: It seems to be uncontroversial that Left Bloc leans to the left of the traditional left. 85.243.56.212 (talk) 17:09, 25 April 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Political leaning 

message: Another view about left bloc's political spectrum has been suggested by 89.154.84.93 with specific sources. I think this article needs another discussion whether the party is left-wing or left-wing to far-left.
Here are the citations that are used to describe the party as the left-wing by 89.154.84.93.

replies: text: The sources that were given for far-left (before being removed in the last edit) were mostly quite old, so it is reasonable that the party could have shifted in this time. However, one source that supported far-left from Euronews is from 2019. Then again, on the Portuguese language version of the page there seems to be agreement over defining the party as simply left-wing as that is how it stands in the infobox there and there does not seem to be edit warring over this. Based off of this I'm not sure where we should go, just outlining what I have seen. Helper201 (talk) 08:40, 25 September 2019 (UTC)
