Do political party names usually explain the agenda of their parties?

[Stronk Serb]

Well, I thought about it and Serbian parties don't. I am going to name a few parties off the top of my head, write down what you think about them just by name. Write anything, in the next few paragtaphs I will explain what they are by their policies and manifestos.

Serbian Radical Party
Socialist Party of Serbia
Communist Party of Serbia
Serbian Progressive Party
Liberal Democrat Party
The Gates
United Regions of Serbia

So I will start from the top to the bottom:

Radicals- Orthodox chauvinists, supported paramilitaries which carried out genocides during the nineties.
(NSDAP-like National-)Socialists- they ruled over Serbia in the nineties, pretty much causing the civil war by trying to install a Serbian hegemony and are responsible fpr genocide too. Never really fought for worker rights and their economic policies plunged Serbia in an inflation from which we still haven't recovered.
Communist Party- typical state-socialists
Progressives- our current ruling party is funny. They think our economy will fix itself without a inflow of money to stimulate it, the so called "tightening up the belt" policy. They are also made of ex-Radicals.
Liberal Democrats- they actually remained true to their name, they are liberal democrats.
The Gates- the Church's puppet party. They are like the radicals which take the Bible way more seriously.
United Regions- with them I agree on economy, you can't economically just strengthen relatively rich regions like Belgrade, when they shared power with the Democrat party in their last two mandates, they attracted foreign investment which helped our economy.

Now, does this happen in your country? To have a party with one name, but it's agendas to be completely different?

Well in America there are only two parties that actually have any foothold in politics, and they're both full of lying corporate whores. The tiny third parties like the greens and Libertarians are usually actually pretty trustworthy and true to their names.

The National Coalition does not assemble actually anyone except the rich people. I can't think any other examples right now.

Well, it seems that Serbian socialists are comical versions of Nazis. They had a lot of Nazi policies in the nineties at least, now they try to regain lost ground by throwing themselves with the "Progressives". The Gates suck major too. Fortunately they don't want to form a coalition with everyone.
