and the "better" liberal policies are?

here's a few you can start with:

1) pull out of the war
2) abolish tuition fees
3) proportional representation
4) proggressive taxation
5) more funding for the NHS/Education system
6) abolish faith schools
7) legalise less dangerous drugs
8) close tax loopholes
9) better public transport (trains, buses, etc)
10) abolish the monarchy
11) make the lords elected (if not fully, then atleast like 75%)
12) proper action on climate change (more renewable energy, no nuclear either, its not safe or viable from what ive read, we probably dont need nuclear weapons either, so they can go too)

1) This isn't possible. Terrorism is not over, Afghanistan has not recovered, if we pulled out, the training camps would re-open, and nothing would be achieved.

2) Some schools need to charge fees. If you are willing to pay the fees, send your child there. If not, send him or her to a state/grammar school. There's no need to lump school fees onto taxes.

3) NO. This may be fair, but it's how Weimar crumbled and how the Nazi Party came to power. With a party like the BNP, we don't want to be anywhere near proportional representation.

4) To a certain extent, yes. Not to Labour levels.

5) That would be nice.

6) What do you mean? Convents? Let them stay.

7) This achieves nothing. Even the least dangerous of drugs can be harmful.

8) If there are any, sure.

9) Agreed. Also, make it cheaper.

10) There's no point. The monarchs don't rule us, they are figureheads. They've been in England for millenia. You can't just say "Hey, Queenie, you're out. Your palace will be demolished in a week".

11) Absolutely.

12) Nuclear is safe, and it's important to keep nuclear power. You just have to properly dispose of the waste.

So, would that be the Green Party? I would not like to see what they would turn the country into.
