I was not aware that I was quoting out of a leftie playbook. Unfortunately, having always opposed the Liberal Democrats, I do not possess a copy. Presumably you are a regular reader to have so promptly identified the quote as being similar to one in the book. Perhaps you could lend me your copy one day.
I am always happy to listen to and learn from anyone, regardless of political ideology, and to take on board their views in an open-minded manner. I may agree, I may disagree, but I will listen to them, debate with them, and respect their right to hold their view, even if I most strongly oppose it. Unlike you seem to, however, I do select my views simply by choosing to hold the opposite views to people notionally at a different point on the ideological spectrum to me. I couldn't care less where a view, opinion, policy, etc. may come from, or who may share it with me. If I believe it to be correct, I will adopt it, hold it, advocate it, until I come across a view I perceive to be better.
