Hi and seasons greetings to you as well. I have read your comment regarding my edit to the ideology of the LDP and regarding the addition of Populism to the info box I have also read your references for Populism and when you consider the article the LDP has various ideological factions within its ranks and takes various ideological positions on specific issues and populism could and should be included in the ideology section of the info box and I will add this for you including the references but I would also keep Conservatism, Liberal conservatism, and your more recent additions of Economic liberalism, Social conservatism, Nationalism and Centrism as these represent the party's various factional and ideological stances. As for political position the party should either be Centre-right or Right-wing because as when compared to the Centre-left/ Centrist Democratic Party of Japan it is to the Right and when you consider the fact that it has been in coalitions with various Right-wing parties such as the New Komeito Party you start to realise that it is a thoroughly Rightist party in a Japanese and political sense. -- Gr8opinionater ( talk) 10:36AM, 3 January 2010 (GMT)
