| MrT-Tar said: I hope he means modern liberal and I completely despise neo-liberal and classical liberal |
As a bit of background, the Liberal Democrats were formed as a merger of the Liberal party (who tended to be more clasical liberal), and the Social Democrats. They are very much a Liberal party in the modern, American sense of the word.
Which is precisely why I like them being teamed up with the Tories.... to dilute the whole "social" aspect of the Lib Dems, and to dilute the "pro-business" aspect of the Conservatives. I'm pro-markets, not pro-business.
