re: #388 Sharmuta
It’s unfortunate that “liberal” is now total package too - one word labels do a lot of harm. Liberal economics is not government, government government - classical liberals love free markets. That problem exists to and has been swept under the carpet - kudos for alligning the situations.
As i look at it
Conservative = small (but not anti-government), baby steps incrementalising one way or another socially or economically. I have always viewed Conservatism (from a western european perspective) as a Managerial type of ideology.
Liberal = Government can solve most problems, in favour of radical plans for legislative change.
