	Encyclopedia: Liberal party
		It usually designates a party that is ideologically liberal, meaning that they advocate individual rights and civil liberties, and sometimes left wing, meaning that they are egalitarian and believe in the redistribution of wealth from rich to poor.
		However, there are also many Liberal Parties which subscribe to classical liberalism and therefore support a mostly unregulated free market, or who are actually more conservative in nature than their opponents, or whose views are right wing, libertarian, or difficult to categorise.
		The Liberal Party was one of the two major British political parties from the early 19th century until the 1920s, and a third party of varying strength and importance up to 1988, when it merged with the Social Democratic Party to form a new party which would become known as...

	Swedish People's Party : RKP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)

		The party's relation to Eurosceptics and issues of the European Union is complicated, partly due to the SFP's historical ties to Finland's wealthiest families.

	Why Finland Is Soft On Crime - Prison Talk Online
		Finland's incarceration rate is just 52 per 100,000 people, less than half Canada's rate of 119 per 100,000 people and a tiny fraction of the American rate of 702.
		Finland's extensive use of parole and early release also creates transition periods in which released prisoners are supervised while they try to get established in legitimate society.
		Finland's reforms meant that this time was instead spent with families and communities, a contribution whose value is surely great, if incalculable.

	WorldNetDaily: Blue America: The land of the easily offended
		With the acknowledgment that there are many individual exceptions, a major defining characteristic of modern-day liberalism is the ease with which liberals take offense personally and/or on behalf of others.
		Liberals' claims of being offended themselves or on behalf of a selected group are almost endless.
		Liberal American Indian spokesmen and other liberals regularly tell us how offensive Indian names of sports teams are.

	TAP: Vol 14, Iss. 11. The -Ism That Failed. John Patrick Diggins. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Back during the Cold War, neoconservative intellectuals flattered themselves in their conviction that they carried forward the anti-communist cause that liberals had dropped in the late 1970s and 1980s, and they ran with it as though they had recovered a fumble and headed toward the goal line to win the game and enjoy the glory.
		In his contribution to "Liberal Anti-Communism Revisited," the historian used the term "obsessive" to describe those who had absorbed themselves in anti-communism long after the communists in America had lost all influence in trade unions, government and higher education.
		In late 1939, Russia went to war against Finland, a Nazi-leaning country that fought valiantly but, after seeing that the war was hopeless, settled for a compromised status under the Soviet behemoth.

		The liberals, who usually belonged or, for ideological reasons, stood close to the old upper class, welcomed this development with full hearts, as it was in line with their notion of Finland as part of, if not Western Europe, then at least western civilisation.
		Finland was too weak and too close to Leningrad to keep the great powers away from its territory in the case of international crises.

	Eye - It's not easy being Green-Liberal - 12.12.02
		It so happens the provincial Liberals under Dalton McGuinty are promising a binding referendum on electoral reform in their first term.
		If the Greens were to agree to throw their forces behind the Liberals in certain ridings, and those ridings were to be won, Green-Liberals would be in a new and powerful position.
		I was a bit surprised that most of the people in the audience didn't seem to know that the Liberals have indeed promised a referendum on proportional representation, surely a matter of critical concern to a party with 6 per cent of the vote.

	Diet of Finland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The Diet of Finland, Suomen valtiopäivät or Finlands Lantdag, was the legislative assembly, and successor to the Riksdag of the Estates, of the Grand Duchy of Finland from 1809 to 1906.
		During the Finnish War between Sweden and Russia, the four Estates of occupied Finland (Nobility, Clergy, Burghers and Peasants) were assembled at Porvoo (Borgå) by Tsar Alexander I, the new Grand Duke of Finland, between March 25 and July 19, 1809.
		This was thought to essentially mean that the emperor confirmed the Swedish Instrument of Government from 1772 as the constitution of Finland, although it was also interpreted to mean respecting the existing codes and statutes.

	History Alive -> Defining the Left
		I think European liberalism has a wide range, I mean if you look back to the early 20th century, the liberals were more or less centre, but implemented more left wing policies than the more conservative establishment based governments.
		The liberal parties then found themselves forced to the right by socialism as their reforms ran dry.
		Today, Liberal parties have relative freedom to pick any part of the spectrum (covered by Liberals in the past that is) they like, and a number of parties span a wide history of their collective policies.

		These so called "extremist liberals" are just north of the U.S in Canada and Canada is listed as one of the top countries.
		I was presuming that when you said "extremist liberals", you were referring to the liberals in the U.S. Unless you're not blaming "extremist liberals" for the poor lack of quality education in the U.S. Anyway, Canada, when compared to the U.S. is extremely left of centre.
		Yes, that is liberal, but I would not classify it as "ultra-liberal".

		It's sort of like if you took the dumbest liberals in the US and put them all in one country and Canada is what you get.
		When a liberal supports economic liberty, such as European liberals do, he believes in it, even though European politics is generally so far to the left (socialism) that a shift to the right (liberalism and conservatism) might be needed.
		Therefore, it is wrong to claim that US liberals are more libertarian, because they are not at all so keen on supporting economic liberty.

		I doubt the liberals are actually offended, but more likely are using it as a tactic against people and ideals they are opposed to.

		Clarkson is leading a delegation of 59 prominent Canadians on the mission to Russia, Finland and Iceland.

		According to international assessments, Finland also has a much smaller gap between the highest and lowest test scores than many other countries including the U.S. Grouping students of mixed ability together is likely responsible for this notable lack of disparity.

		The liberal is able to reconcile notions like labor, women, and race under a general rubric of benign indifference.
		And as someone a bit closer to the left than the liberal, I was a little unhappy with the antiwar liberals who said "We don't have to invade Iraq because sanctions are working." There's moral clarity for you.
