The entry claims that the Minnesota DFL Party is an agrarian party and defines "agrarian party" as one in which farmers are THE main constituency. The DFL does not meet the definition for an agrarian party.
The Party is the Minnesota State unit of the national Democratic Party. There is no difference between the Minnesota DFL Party and the Democratic Party of the United States. Historically, in Minnesota, the Democrats merged with the independent Farmer-Labor Party. Nevertheless, there is no contemporary distinction between the MN DFL and the national Democrats. While the Party certainly has the support of some farmers, primarily grain farmers in the northwest quadrant of the State, in no way would it claim that farmers are its main constituency.
The Party is a coalition of urban and suburban liberals, good-government types, unionized factory labor, public employees, grain farmers and family farmers led by lawyers and intellectuals. LAWinans ( talk) 23:46, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
Thanks to C mon for his *GREAT* work on this article.
One question about the list. Why writing all these times "Nordic Agrarian party"? I think it is not useful. For that there is still Nordic Agrarian parties. It could be an idea to put the link at the bottom of the article and to simply put an asterisk after the name of those parties. What do you think? -- Checco ( talk) 11:21, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

I have noticed quite a few defunct parties within this list. Does anyone one know if that is meant to be, or if they should be removed? Cran32 ( talk) 21:25, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
Ignore this; I just answered my own question. Cran32 ( talk) 21:27, 25 June 2017 (UTC)
There has been a misleading confusion with parties with similar names in Estonia: in Estonia, one of the agrarian parties was the Agrarian Center Party (In Estonian: Maa-keskerakond), but not the Center Party (In Estonian: Keskerakond). The Center Party (In Estonian: Keskerakond) has never been an agrarian-oriented party in Estonia. However, the Agrarian Center Party (In Estonian: Maa-keskerakond), which was actually an agrarian-oriented party, has ceased its activities already in 1996.
I fixed it.
