  Liberal Party - LoveToKnow 1911
LIBERAL PARTY, in Great Britain, the name given to and accepted by the successors of the old Whig party (see Whig And Tory), representing the political party opposed to Toryism or Conservatism, and claiming to be the originators and champions of political reform and progressive legislation.
But throughout its career the Liberal party has always been pushed forward by its extreme Radical wing, and economy in the spending of public money is no longer cherished by those who chiefly represent the non-taxpaying classes.
In 1861 a central organization was started in the "Liberal Registration Association," composed "of gentlemen of known Liberal opinions"; and a number of "Liberal Associations" soon rose throughout the country.

 Green Party Review
When governing a country or political party it is possible to do a lot of things individually, darned hard to do a lot of things at once, and, totally impossible to please everyone at the same time.
But because the Green Parties were created decades ago when there was a lot less depressing information and a lot fewer scared people, a significant percentage of social utopians were among the original founders and some of their ideals found their way into the constitutions and original documents of the organization.
Partially, this is because most farmers are as materialistic as anyone else, and they wanted to continue in the cash economy.
