A very new editor is deleting Social conservatism from the ideology section of the inbox and substituting in "Fiscal conservatism", citing "their website" as evidence. There is nothing on the website about policy, except some statements on reducing public spending and duplication of services. The party, within the article, are cited as attending a European conservatives' meeting, and its leader is cited as being "against abortion - full stop" - in the same interview going on to say he didn't want to live in a country where abortion is permitted. I think it's fair to say that's enough to justify a inclusion of socially conservative position in the infobox? BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ! 22:14, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
To me, it is abundantly clear that the party is socially conservative. While it may be playing down those aspects, because the Irish electorate has tended to reject social conservatism recently (at least until the most recent referendum), the ideologies of its TDs are well-known, and their open association with ECR which includes parties like Brothers of Italy, Vox and Sweden Democrats clearly places them in a socially conservative position, especially relative to other parties in Ireland.
