		From the point of view of the liberals, the only ground they would have had to concede if they had stuck by their principles in Iraq would have been an acknowledgment that the war had a degree of legitimacy.
		To look at the Iraqi civilians and the British and American troops who were dying in a war whose central premise had proved to be false, and to go berserk; to allow justifiable anger to propel them into "binges of posturing and ultra-radicalism" as the 1960s' liberals had done when they went off the rails.
		In the liberal and social democratic movements of Europe, fear led to denial, as it did in the '30s, and every upsurge of Islamism was blamed on the root cause of Western provocation.

		In fact, the evidence suggests that the most reliable route to success for the Liberal Democrats is for the party to build on its credibility as a potential winning force in areas where the party is already established.
		The British Liberal Democrats can thrive where they can close the credibility gap- and they appear to be able to do this through campaigning effort rather than through policy renewal.
		Moreover, it is through the constituency context that the liberal Democrats can hope to persuade voters that they are a viable force in a given locality and can continue to profit from concentrated support rather than having to improve the party's share of the national vote.

		After the 1987 election, the Liberal and Social Democratic leaderships argued that the difficulty of two separate parties campaigning together could be solved if the two parties became one, and a “democratic fusion” was proposed to create a brand new party now known as the Liberal Democrats.
		They decided to re-establish the Liberal Party to continue the genuine Liberal political tradition to champion causes which New Labour and the Conservatives oppose and which have long been forsaken by the Liberal Democrats in their frantic quest to join the political establishment.

		Secondly; it was left up to the Democrats in the Senate to force a public parliamentary inquiry into a new tax system – without which there would have been not a single opportunity for the community to have open input into the process as we change over from one tax system to another.
		As part of an agreement with the British Liberal Democrats, the British Government has recently tackled the issue of the unrepresentative nature of their House of Commons.
		But, however unpalatable the fact is to Senator Coonan and her colleagues, the Democrats have enjoyed enduring voter appeal ever since the late 70s on the basis of our own performance.

	Andrew Apostolou on British Muslims on National Review Online
		British politicians encouraged the intolerant fringe in the Muslim community by failing to stand up for Rushdie's rights and instead apologizing for any offence that Rushdie might have caused to the many indignant persons who had not read his novel The Satanic Verses.
		The Liberal Democrat calculation is that British Muslims have been radicalized, and that the views of sectarian, anti-Semitic fringe groups have a resonance in the Muslim community.
		Although the Liberal Democrats have taken the manipulation of minority identity for political gain to new lengths and depths, the dangers of sectarian politics were evident before Iraq.

		British politics is back to normal: From the 1960s to the 1990s the party in power trailed in the polls most of the time, as I have previously noted.
		Conservatives would have 345 seats, an absolute majority, Labor 218, and Liberal Democrats 55, a gain of 131 for Conservatives and a loss of 129 for Labor and 5 for Liberal Democrats.
		But note that British elections are almost never won by a 10percent popular vote margin; the New Labor victories by nearly that margin in 1997 and 2001 were very much the exception.
