Not to harp on British politics, but it is indeed historic for Britain and holds many important implications for America when the Liberal Democrats top a poll for the first time in 104 years. (Caveat- The Lib-Dems are an 80’s merger of the Liberal Party and the Social Democratic Party, nonetheless….) The idea behind the Lib-Dems is one that has reached its place in history at an important moment. I’ve said to people for some time that Barack Obama’s politics, when translating American politics and policy in British politics and policy, fall well within the realm of the Liberal Democratic ideas. Personal freedom and free markets with a global outlook and a government that understands that it sometimes has to help and care for the less fortunate. I can only hope this is not a temporary bounce.
Also, I’ll never link to the Daily Mail again. Just saying.
