  • Coded "Left" from 2018 to 2023, and "0" in its 2017 row.२०१८ देखि २०२३ सम्म "Left" (वाम), र २०१७ को पङ्क्तिमा "0" कोड गरिएको। [Inter-American Development Bank (IDB Open Data)]
  • Describes the Congress and the UML as having "moved from occupying what was traditionally considered the centre in Nepali politics to being on the right", where "right" is defined by the report as the space for "those who claim that federalism, political inclusion and minority rights damage national unity and meritocracy". Refers to 2012 and to the identity/federalism debate, not to economics.यस प्रतिवेदनले काँग्रेस र एमालेलाई नेपाली राजनीतिमा परम्परागत रूपमा "मध्य" मानिने स्थानबाट "दक्षिण" तर्फ सरेको भनी वर्णन गरेको छ। यहाँ "दक्षिण" भन्नाले सङ्घीयता, राजनीतिक समावेशीकरण र अल्पसङ्ख्यक अधिकारले राष्ट्रिय एकता र योग्यतालाई हानि गर्छ भन्नेहरूको स्थान भनी प्रतिवेदनले नै परिभाषित गरेको छ। यो सन् २०१२ को अवस्था र पहिचान/सङ्घीयता बहससँग सम्बन्धित छ, अर्थतन्त्रसँग होइन। [International Crisis Group]
  • Describes the party at the 1991 election as "the moderate Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist)".सन् १९९१ को निर्वाचनको वर्णनमा दललाई "the moderate Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist)" भनिएको छ। [Encyclopaedia Britannica]
