I already started a thread on this called Home Affairs. You must be careful using the word liberal in front of an American with or without a capital L at the beginning, as it's a dirty word in their 'pay and display' version of politics. Much better if we use the term Liberal Democrats, not only is it more accurate in the context of the UK political party, it also confuses people to whom Liberal and Democrat mean two totally different things!
Hee hee.
