Orphaned references in Radical Party of Oleh Lyashko

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Radical Party of Oleh Lyashko's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "CpvIU271804":

• From Ukrainian parliamentary election, 2014: Poroshenko Bloc candidates leading in 64 single-seat constituencies - CEC, Interfax-Ukraine (27 October 2014)
• From Self Reliance (political party): Poroshenko Bloc candidates leading in 64 single-seat constituencies - CEC, Interfax-Ukraine (27.10.2014)

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 16:21, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Left-wing or right-wing

This article seems to have conflicting information regarding the party's place on the political spectrum. The infobox describes it as right-wing, yet the ideology section describes it as "left-wing populist". Charles Essie (talk) 21:29, 16 May 2015 (UTC)

I agree, it should be changed. Is the party on the left or the right? or is there no consensus on a definition Endrū Hejs (talk) 08:20, 19 May 2015 (UTC)

The Centre for Eastern Studies Here [1] says:

"The Communist Party of Ukraine was founded in 1993 (after the lifting of the ban on the activities of communist parties), relying on continuity with the Soviet CPU since 1918. From the beginning it has been led by Petro Symonenko. Its programme is Communist, pro-Russian. Together with the Radical Party it is today the only party of the Ukrainian left. It effectively supports the separatist rebellion in the Donbas.

The Oleh Lashko Radical Party was founded in 2010 as the Ukrainian Radical-Democratic Party, and has had its present name and leadership since 2011. Its programme is liberal-nationalist, pro-European, populist. It is a typical one-man party, centred around Oleh Lashko; its real organisational potential remains a mystery. It favours the use of force to resolve the conflict in the Donbas."

I have no clue as to the reputation of the CES, they would seem to classify the Radicals as left-wing nationalists? Endrū Hejs (talk) 08:15, 20 May 2015 (UTC)

This is a 9 years old discussion, but I wanted to say that after checking political science sources, they lean towards describing the party as left-wing, and so this is what I decided to go with. The party was 'syncretic' before, but there is no source that ever described the party as that, so that appears to have been original research. Brat Forelli🦊 05:01, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
