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. wow, fail, if you read the thread, I listed at least 5 good reasons why the war is stupid

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. im talking about Universities here, schools already work like that...Uni's though, there is NO free to access option

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. the BNP have nowhere near the support of the Nazis, utter drivel and fearmongering, grow up please

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

5) That would be nice.

6) What do you mean? Convents? Let them stay. why? do we have Labour and Tory schools? nope, so why pander to religous groups if not to all other special interest groups

7) This achieves nothing. Even the least dangerous of drugs can be harmful. harmful like Alcohol or Tobbaco you mean?

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". as ive said, turn there palace's and shit into museums for all i care, no point in them, or wasting money on there muppetry

11) Absolutely.

12) Nuclear is safe, and it's important to keep nuclear power. You just have to properly dispose of the waste. okay, im still a little hestitant but after reading what people have said, im more open to nuclear now

So, would that be the Green Party? I would not like to see what they would turn the country into. actually the Green party are left of some of these issues even, its why id prefer a more moderate left wing party, sadly, there is none
