I think Markf meant the National Liberal party a little to the right of the Liberal party although it has both ccentre-left and right positions.
Very perceptive Millennium. Whilst there are groups that are not right-wing such as http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/99937774260/ or...
I believe the Third Way has been going for 22 years and still does but now as a 'think-tank' rather than a party. The NLP was formed 5 years ago? Some original members seem to has stayed with the TT...
I think the difference is the BNP members joining the ED are recent, have not changed ideologically and some were quite important whilst any ex-NF person in the NLP seem to be small fry (Williamson...
ProudEnglander Tom is partially right. The two liberal parties represent the two 'wings' of liberalism. National Liberalism and left (social) liberalism. In the 19th century NL was the predominant...
Personally not opposed to the Scots going it alone if that is what they want? (Scotland: Union or Independence - Is there a middle way? see State of the Union: » National Liberal Party | LIBERTY:...

Possibly but devolution means power transfered downwards. Westminster would primarily control defence and foreign policy. Counties would have far greater power, so Westminster would no longer be able...

Further to what Stne the Croze said I believe there is some concern that Citizenship will be scrapped from the National Curriculum. It wouldn't surprise me since politicians realise that the...
Quite so Tom.
I agree Marilyn that Referendums are only one approach, Recall, PR etc being others (all of which I support). I also accept that our political culture has been kept in the 'dark ages' for a long time...
I do know some ex-Green party members who walked away when it took on a Red-Green flavour. My understanding is that there are quite a few 'non-left' party members who are left alone if they focus on...
Just read the following "Given the problems we have had recently on the streets it is interesting to note that a Swiss economist Professor Frey believes that his country's system leads to greater...
One of the most prosperous and stable countries is Switzerland. Their constitution also lets their voter decide on many of the country's most important issues of the
day via referenda. Coincidence?...
Tom, nationalism isn't a broad movement only a broad concept. Whilst there are many calling themselves 'nationalists' I would distinguish for example, between the patriotism of those seeking...
I doubt that Clegg will do the decent thing. Most Western political elites have supported or gone along with this intervention in a civil war either to rid themselves of a troublesome regime, claim a...

’Until August 1914 a sensible law-abiding Englishman could pass through life and hardly notice the existence of the state, beyond the post office and the policeman. He could live where he liked and...
Village Idiot - The original UK 'Greens' were the Ecologist Party - John Papworth et al who were certainly not socialist/marxist and did accept that population was linked to the environment....
