Exactly. There are various Liberal Party policies that I don't agree with, but none that I find so awful as to stop me supporting the party.
However, there are a few places where the Liberal Party's current policy documents, manifestos and/or party constitution seem to contradict one another. Sometimes this is because nobody has got around to updating one or other document, sometimes it is even just due to typos. Those things will have to be sorted out and clarified. The party is gradually renewing itself, and as more people become interested in it, they are increasingly going to start pointing out inconsistencies and asking awkward questions about them - as some here like Britannist already have. Policies are updated very democratically by the annual Liberal Assembly, but probably it would also be good if a policy committee prepared a list of minor inconsistencies that need sorting out and submitted it for approval to the Assembly.
