""The term "liberal" with a different meaning in the US rather than GB is ambiguous and a precise definition of the term is required.""

Sorry, I was last guest (message sent before completed).

A good observation Stringsinger.( I would also add a few other countries, as Mudcat membership is broader than GB and USA).

It is indeed "kind of odd" that some folks throw terms about with (what seems to be) little concern that there is most likely no common definition of those terms, as they have different meaning to different folks, and in different countries.

""Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. The former are idealists acting from highest motives for the greatest good of the greatest number. The latter are surly curmudgeons, suspicious and lacking in altruism. But they are more comfortable neighbors than the other sort.""
