January 12, 2006Lib Dems To The LeftWith Tony Blair's Labour Party occupying the centre of British politics, the formerly centrist Liberal Democrat Party will shift to the left of Labour, if the frontrunner for its leadership wins. As I understand it, there is more of a class than ideological difference between the Liberal Democrats and Labour. Labour of course has a working class base, whereas the Liberal Democrats appeal to lifestyle liberals who may be fiscally conservative. The shift in the offing means they may loosen the purse strings to develop a more consistent left-of-center image. Posted by rickheller at January 12, 2006 11:37 PMComments
"Lifestyle liberals" is a nice phrase. Now I'm off to Starbucks to get a cappucino. Posted by: Oberon at January 13, 2006 07:31 AM |
