The quip about sexism was a jest.
I answered your questions in a historical and organizational context.
1) What does the Liberal Party stand for these days? Maintain the power status quo including theirs. (Survival/power) old fashioned 'conservatism' paraphrasing Shadow minister 'to demonstrate *their* values (?)', "regain power" and "demonstrate how the Govt policies are failing"
2) How does it distinguish itself from Labor?
Hardly it is more left of the current centre slightly more people focused.(true liberal, US meaning)
3) What does it offer that is unique and different?
4) Why should we not keep the current Government in power? The libs haven't given us an alternative governing policy except for border control (they're totally anti every thing)Conservatives still not united on the existence of AGW.
5) Can the Liberal Party give the country genuine alternatives
to the current government's policies? I hope so but given what GY and SM have said We'll never know untill they get into power and even then they out with their unpopular ideology 'Work Choices' etc
6) Can the Liberal Party give the country a great leader in
these difficult times? I doubt that either party can due to the parties primary focus and commercial realities.
7) What are the Liberal Party's core values? Stuck in the early 60's and dominated by old time conservatism and economics that make no sense. A famous economist said "anyone who believes that growth can be unlimited in a finite world must be mad or an economist" I would add or has vested interests.
No criticism (shredding intended) just trying to help. :-)
