Anti-immigration should be added into the ideology section

the official site of the party still frature anti-immigration and their current leaders have used anti-immigration slangs in their speech even in 2025, I don't see why it shouldn't be, there's million of people voting for them because of their anti-immigration stance. ~2025-33696-16 (talk) 20:00, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

First anti-immigration is a policy and not a ideology second this is WP:UNDUEWEIGHT Shadow4dark (talk) 20:19, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Mqny parties on wikipedia have "anti-immigration' written on their ideology sections so I followed the same pattern

Here's a few examples

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_and_Direct_Democracy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ergue-te

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stram_Kurs

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progress_Party_(Denmark)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_and_Direct_Democracy

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nation_(political_party)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Alliance_(Ireland)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collectif_N%C3%A9m%C3%A9sis

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_People%27s_Blue-Whites

The Wikipedia community had always included policies like anti-immigration into ideology section so I did the same thing, I don't think this considered as UNDUEWEIGHT since their Anti-immigration is reason why they got so popular even in very conservative regions who used to vote for AkP and the only reason people vote them here is because of their anti-immigration view. It was one of the main talking point of the party until the arrest of Istanbul Erkem Imamğolu, they still talk about it and promise to deport all immigrants.

Also why remove civic nationalism? I added this because CHP rejected ethnonatioanlaism unlike so many Kemalist movements and parties who embrace Turkish identity as ethnic not civic identity. ~2025-33696-16 (talk) 20:55, 15 November 2025 (UTC)

Political Position

The core ideology of the party include Turkish nationalism, anti-immigration, and many other political positions that by far don’t characterise a center left or even center party. By any real standards the party would be designated as center-right to right-wing at best. Lmagoutas (talk) 21:21, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

Objectivity + statement in regards to vandalism concerns

( This message is especially for Turkish users ) Please don't forget to maintain your objectivity in political matters, it would not help anyone if you revert the leadership status back to Özgür Özel as long as there's no official or legal basis to it, that would not contribute anything other than deceiveing the readers , thanks in advance.

I'm also considering removing "de facto" in the infobox because it implies Özel controls the party, it's confusing IMO. Burcet95 (talk) 23:53, 3 June 2026 (UTC)

To prevent vandalism, page editing privileges should be restricted. Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu has been officially recognized as the party leader.

Since the certificate of election is still in Özgür Özel’s possession, Kılıçdaroğlu is currently serving in an acting capacity.

Besides, in accordance with Wikipedia's principles, a stance should be taken in favor of knowledge and against authoritarian regimes. For example, information about the Nazis is also provided, but they are not given preferential treatment. ~2026-33725-67 (talk) 05:07, 7 June 2026 (UTC)

Parliamentary leader is Özgür Özel

By Party Constitution, if Party President (there is no party leader in Turkey) is not a People's Deputy, Party's Parliamentary Group elects a People's Deputy as Chair of Parliamentary Group and apart from Kılıçdaroğlu being ineligible to position, deputies already elected Özgür Özel to that position a few days ago. ~2026-31440-10 (talk) 20:50, 26 May 2026 (UTC)

Factions

Should factions of the party, as in the Turkish version of this article, be included in the infobox? In particular nationalism, democratic socialism and social liberalism.
