Looking at the logs I find a visitor from this site. Well, OK, wonderful, Tim Hicks links to me, very nice indeed. (Good blog too.) What has me grinning is that he appears to be the first person to describe my political and economic stance correctly (at least in my mind). Liberal. Look at the right side of his site and you’ll see:
Yes, exactly! An old fashioned Manchester Liberal, as uncomfortable with Labour and the Lib Dems economic Statism as I am with the Tories social conservatism. Actually, from the same roots (Cobden et al) as such papers as The Guardian, although I seem to have stayed truer to the original ideals than they have. I’m pretty sure the Adam Smith Institute would be happy with the appellation "Liberal" too, as long as it were clarified in the same manner.
