Tactical politics → Political tactic — Consistency with military tactics. WP:SINGULAR--Marcus Qwertyus 06:27, 3 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Tactical politics is not the same as political tactics.--Ykraps (talk) 19:57, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - .....although this article doesn't seem to know the difference.--Ykraps (talk) 20:02, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What do you think the difference is? Marcus Qwertyus 20:07, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In the same way that 'Tactical aggression' isn't the same as 'Aggressive tactics' or 'Political ambitions' aren't the same as 'Ambitious politics'.'Tactical politics' are politics which employ tactics whereas 'political tactics' are tactics which have a political motive. A political tactic can be a prudent manoeuvre made by anyone but tactical politics are used by politicians.--Ykraps (talk) 21:27, 4 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How about a move to Political strategy since this article really deals with politics "from a strategic perspective". Marcus Qwertyus 23:18, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would have no objection to such a move. In fact, I think it's probably a better title.--Ykraps (talk) 10:35, 9 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Incorporation of "Wrecking amendment"[edit]

Seems like Wrecking amendment (aka poison pill, etc) should have section in this article. I don't have time to make the change, but just noticed it would have made the article easier to find. -- RobLa (talk) 23:35, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Categorization of types[edit]

Should the list of types of tactics be cateorized? The broad categories of positive and negative tactics seems obvious, or direct/indirect, or aggressive/asertive/passive. There must be a source out there somewhere that has already done such a categorization. Sparkie82 (t•c) 07:07, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
