Reducing the Ideologies

Looking at the infobox, it looks there are too many. I propose reducing them to two. The ideologies are below:

  • Flemish nationalism
  • Conservatism

This doesn't include getting rid of the historical ideology and positions.

Okay :) @Checco: Also, I've started a conversation of reducing the ideologies of Vlaams Belang too on its talk page. ValenciaThunderbolt (talk) 21:11, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
Currently, the introduction states that the N-VA is eurosceptic, while they fight for an independent Flanders in a strong EU. They sometimes criticize the bureaucracy within the EU and want to reform it completely, but they do fight for a kind of confederal model at European level, where each member state has rights and obligations.
By calling the party eurosceptic, they seem anti-EU. Later in the article I read soft-eurosceptic, I think this should also be in the introduction. Davos storm (talk) 08:50, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
The N-VA has become more and more liberal in the last 8 years, currently even the most liberal party according to well-known journalists such as Ivan De Vadder and Isolde Van den Eynde. So I think it is useful to include this, the party is still ethically conservative, although that has decreased enormously. Davos storm (talk) 08:54, 13 August 2024 (UTC)
