i agree, i used 'radical' to mean drastic -though right wing (fascist? or neo fascist?) change. political terminology has become very confusing - especially the 'liberal' term. i think republicans (as in trump and palin not mcguinness and adams) regard liberals as communists. american neo-liberal global capitalists are heavily indebted to chinese communists party who are, of course, the most currentlly successful capitalists on the planet. politically, 'liberal' has so many interpretations that perhaps all meaning is obscure or lost. is the new liberal leader more liberal than the previous neoconsevative enabler leader clegg? i think there still as a 'Liberal' party (presumably holding on to a traditional view of what liberal is - as opposed to 'liberal democrats' of course it's all very confussing - i prefer to stick to the old marxist definitions of bosses and workers. or if i'm being really modern - banging on about the crimes of the 1%. in supporting JC in for the labour leadership am i being a conservative, or at least, traditional - conservative?
