Is the translation of CDA into English correct? Does Appel mean 'appeal'? Maybe some linguists can brief us on the proper meaning of the word appel in Dutch and then let us know the Enlish translation.

The section regarding the formation of the current cabinet was a bit messy, with some mistakes. Cleaned it up; but appreciate your comments. Wasnt it so that the Dutch electorate sought refuge with the CDA after the LPF debacle and not in 2002?-- Prudentia 02:17, 4 April 2006 (UTC)
The "1994-present" section links the date 1918. I don't know if the year is wrong, or the sentence is unclear and actually referring to something from 1918. Will leave for someone else to determine/fix :) -- Quiddity 07:09, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
I think that this political party would be more comparable to American Republicans than to Democrats
The CDA is pretty conservative on social issues.........they want to end the toleration of soft drugs and limit prostitution......that is VERY conservative. And according to many sources they want to profile coffee shop users! Not liking Bush doesn't mean that they are not closer to American republicans......most Republicans (and 70%of the US) disagrees with many of Bush's policies like the Iraq war.

Both JP Balkenende and E Brinkman list their academic titles as mr. dr. Why is this.
In the Netherlands it is customary to place the highest academic title first; i.e.: prof dr ir. The dr. title stands for a Ph.D. (and replaces drs when a drs completes a phd but is added to ir (MSc in engineering) and mr (MSc in law). The mr. stands for master of laws, which in the Dutch systems a title at the level of (but never above) MSc, which is actually a prerequisite to start a PhD program in health.
So why is in this case the mr. title put before the higher academic phd title? Arnoutf ( talk) 18:03, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
Hello Blueboy, is it really so that Lubbers stands for conservative politics? In spite of his slogans in the 80s, he can hardly be called e.g. a member of the right wing of his party.-- Ziko ( talk) 18:46, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Politics/Political parties regarding the inclusion of the party flag in the infobox of this article. The thread is Party flags in infoboxes. Thank you. — Ætoms talk 23:53, 10 December 2022 (UTC)
The party, while historically on the more conservative side of parliament, has now had the Overton window shift around it to such a degree that is firmly out of the broader right-wing block, in all practicality. Would it not then be more accurate to say it is just Center, or maybe even Center-left? 172.59.187.186 ( talk) 19:05, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
