	National Liberal Party (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The National Liberals evolved as a distinctive group within the Liberal Party in 1931 when the main body of Liberals were maintaining in office the second Labour government of Ramsay MacDonald, who lacked a majority in Parliament.
		At Westminster the independent Liberals were in a shattered state, with the tiny Parliamentary Party representing all shades of opinion and it was doubtful that the new leader, Clement Davies (himself a former Liberal National who had defected back to the independent Liberals) could carry all of his colleagues into a united party.
		Liberal Associations who supported National Liberal candidates remained affiliated to the National Liberal Federation until that body was dissolved in 1936, whilst one Liberal National Cabinet Minister, Walter Runciman, remained President of the National Liberal Federation even after the two groups were on opposite sides of the Commons.

	Liberal Party (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1841 the Liberals lost office to the Conservatives under Sir Robert Peel, but their period in opposition was short, because the Conservatives split over the repeal of the Corn Laws, a free trade issue, and a faction known as the Peelites (but not Peel himself, who died soon after), defected to the Liberal side.
		At the 1922 and 1923 elections the Liberals won barely a third of the vote and a quarter of the seats in the House of Commons as many radical voters abandoned the divided Liberals and went over to Labour.
		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 the Liberal Democrats.

	National government - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This coalition had some support from National Liberals, also, with the disarray of the Liberal Party of the time; it took in broader support in the war years, and nominally persisted until the general election of 1945.
		National governments or national unity governments are broad coalition governments consisting of all parties (or all major parties) in the legislature and are often formed during times of war or national emergency.
		The Liberals, led by Sir Wilfrid Laurier refused; however, Borden was able to convince many individual Liberals to join what was called a Union Government which defeated the Laurier Liberals in the fall 1917 election.

	Not Geniuses: Foreign Policy with a heart, columnists without a brain
		In questions of national defense, liberals are overwhelmingly for intervention, as in Afghanistan where all but the most fringe elements of the left accepted the necessity of force (By the way Charles, Dean was one of those who agreed with Afghanistan).
		To clarify, most liberals rejected the question posed, the entire situation was not evaluated and then a decision reached that ignored the case made by the president.
		To liberals, foreign policy is a form of social work, and were our abilities not restrained by logistics and money, as long as we felt we could make a positive change, we'd probably be in Congo and a few other places besides.

	UK NATIONAL GOVERNMENT FACTS AND INFORMATION
		One group under Sir John Simon emerged as the Liberal Nationals who were prepared to accept the tariff and expressed willingness to take the place of the main Liberals in the government.
		The most prominent policy of the National Government in the early 1930s was the proposal to introduce Indian_Home_Rule, a measure that was fiercely opposed by the Diehard wing of the Conservative party, with Winston_Churchill taking a lead amongst the opponents.
		The Liberals' acting leader and Home Secretary Sir Herbert Samuel fought in Cabinet against an election but found the Liberal party dividing in several directions over the course of action.

	News from Agape Press
		The survey found that the vast majority of those employed in the national and the local media describe themselves as liberals and moderates, with national media leaning far more toward the liberal side of the scale.
		Tellingly, solid majorities of national print and TV journalists, as well as Internet journalists, say the media has not been critical enough in its coverage of the Administration, and a smaller plurality of local print journalists agree (46%).
		Only seven percent of the national journalists surveyed described themselves as conservatives, and the numbers were not much better for local journalists.

	Innocents Abroad: 05/30/2004 - 06/05/2004
		As I've argued before, the Liberals are pretty much the only national party that can win a majority, but they don't, contrary to their own views of themselves, have a solid majority base in Canada.
		I suspect the Liberals will continue their attacks and increase the intensity, believing in their heart of hearts that the Conservatives are operating with a secret agenda in mind.
		This is devastating news for the Liberals who’ve had a virtual stranglehold on the province for the last three elections.

	Education for life
		Liberals believe that education should be more than just a preparation for work (important though that is) but a means of enriching the lives of individuals and the community.
		Liberals are strong supporters of nursery education, not only as an aid to working parents, but also because it lays a good foundation for all that follows.
		Liberals would like to see schools developing their own approaches, subject only to the maintenance of acceptable standards.

	American Prospect Online - ViewPrint
		When self-conscious liberals avoid national security, and liberal national-security hands avoid an ideological self-conception, the public sees only a void that is all too often ﬁlled with outdated stereotypes, extreme and unrepresentative voices, and smears and caricatures propagated by the right.
		A generation of liberals who saw their greatest successes in the 1990s has convinced itself that that era -- after the collapse of the Soviet Union, when foreign-policy questions were less important -- was normal.
		Marshall agreed, proclaiming that the party “is inherently divided” on matters of national security and that the victory of his centrist faction was vital to the continued health of American progressivism.

	The American Spectator
		Liberals claimed that "Star Wars" was a bad idea and that a new arms race would be triggered if President Bush pulled out of the ABM treaty between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.
		Liberals frequently tout nations such as France and Sweden as role models, governments with a "social conscience." Yet these over-taxed countries are self-destructing.
		Liberals used to argue that free-market policies such as tax reform and personal retirement accounts were crazy, untested concepts.

		When it comes to the issue of national identity, right liberals are usually more concerned to maintain social homogeneity: which means, in practice, that they want migrants to assimilate into a mainstream culture.
		Left liberals, on the other hand, often support a separate identity for migrants and are therefore happy to fund what has become known as the multicultural industry.
		Liberals want individuals to be self-created by their own reason and will.

	Bring on the National IDs Liberals Against Terrorism
		Liberals against Terrorism and the TerrorWiki are a collaborative online effort to shape a more liberal strategy for defeating terrorism and Islamist radicalism.
		Fortunately a national ID makes the left and right alike kinda nervous, so it is conceivable that you could write a bill that provided adequate protections and left everyone better off.
		But you have to admit, the ones on the right tend to be mightly allergic to the notion of a national ID before you even try to discuss its merits.

	Feathers fly at Young Liberals' shindig - National - theage.com.au
		The big problem, according to senior Liberals, is the cultural differences between the two tribes that now make up the movement — the Young Liberals, who have traditionally been associated with the moderate grouping in the party, and the Liberal students, regarded as right-wingers.
		Some senior Liberals were making light of the episode.
		Former state MP Inga Peulich last night told how she was forced to "exercise a bit of crowd control" when two warring groups faced off on the banks of the Yarra outside the warehouse where the ball was being held.

	Global Freemasonry. com - This site is based on the works of Harun Yahya.
		In order to achieve the unity of Germany, the National Liberals believed it was necessary to rid the people of any sense of affiliation outside their borders, and regarded the relationship between one third of the population and the Catholic Pope as the largest obstacle to this.
		One of the reasons for this was a group of intellectuals known as the "National Liberals," similar to the French anti-clerics, that adopted an anti-religious policy.
		His slogan "every nation a state" was the spark that ignited minority rebellions, which were to be the cause of the fall of multi-ethnic empires, such as the Austro-Hungarian and the Ottoman Empires.

	Norway.com
		Liberals, especially those of Venstre, might complain, but ultimately accept “our Norwegian royal house.” Ibsen believed, correctly, it would turn out, that republican sentiment in Norway was less ideological than nationalist and anti-Swedish.
		Liberals, by and large, rejected monarchy as a tool of the monied interests, while conservatives feared the economic and political chaos that they were certain a republic would bring.
		The Liberals, particularly the more radical, had by and large become convinced that monarchy not only favored the social elite, they also viewed the Union monarchy as Swedish with loyalties that would always favor “Big Brother” in Stockholm.

	The Old Cause
		A cynic would say that all that the National Liberals had gotten from their support of Bismarck – aside from unification – was free trade and the Rechtsstaat ("rule of law"), and in 1879 they had lost free trade.
		There were a couple of liberal groupings to the "Left" of the National Liberals, which had never made acceptance of scraps from Bismarck's table their political program.
		The result in Germany was a multi-party system in the Reichstag (the popular branch of government), which included the National Liberals, the Catholic Center Party, Social Democrats, and various agrarian and conservative parties.

	'Big Ideas Need Sharp Elbows'
		From FDR's victory in 1932 through the election of 1968, liberals were viewed as "tougher" on national security than skinflint--frequently isolationist--conservatives, and the Democrats were the natural party of government.
		Clearly the most significant advantage Bush enjoyed came in the various national security categories, despite the fact that this is the area where the Bush Administration's myriad failings, both personal and professional, ought to be most obvious.
		Unless liberals find a way to reverse this trend, they will forfeit election after election, notwithstanding the increasing extremism and irresponsibility of Bush and Co. in virtually every area of public policy.

	Bismarck’s Failure: the Kulturkampf

		He desired to please Bismarck and managed to bring the Liberals closer to Bismarck through his harsh laws created to diminish the power and independence of the church.

		The chairs are traditionally selected by the prime minister, who relies on the whip to stage-manage a show-of-hands vote that ratifies his choice.

	Jonah Goldberg on Hollywood Liberals on National Review Online
		Famed for being nasty, demanding, and often vicious bosses, these liberals find an emotional connection with abstract people like "the poor" or "the blacks." They argue that life should be easy, better, and even sexually adventurous for these abstractions, precisely because they can imagine themselves walking in their shoes.
		It even holds true to the modern tendency of liberals to distort, spin, and most of all blame the heartlessness of conservatives for all of the poor's problems.
		Their cultural liberalism is derived largely from the fact that they can afford their bad habits.
