In any other country, a ‘liberal’ defends individual rights against encroaching police powers.

And you'll note Leyno didn't mention the Nationals because Leyno needs the Nationals to help him capture the tiny number of votes sufficient to get him into NSW State Parliament.

How to get into State?

Have a quiet preference deal with NSW Nationals who are in league with rich farmer (water) interests.

So its unsurprising that Leyno's website http://www.ldp.org.au/environment wants to reduce government regulation of water use between rich vs small farmers vs environmental uses:

"...As far as possible, the Liberal Democrats will abolish government ownership and control of water.

They will establish mechanisms for trading water that ensure it is priced in accordance with its value. They will abolish mandatory water requirements on private property..."

plantagenet,

Do you have evidence to support that statement? Or is this what you surmise?

I'm happy for my comments to be deleted if Leyno or Graham so wish.

plantagenet,

<<Just making an OLO comment Oz. Freedom of expression!>>

So they were questions without evidence?

In other words, your opinions and assumptions.

You could also say that Labor is not for Labour contemporarily.

But this is just an attempt by do gooder David to further extreme left ends by attacking the Liberal Party's brand name. Yes he's probably correct that the Liberal Party has moved a little in the Conservative direction. But the Liberal Party has always had a large minority proportion of Conservatives. That is the problem with branding- is the underlying organisation is in flux. Given that parties and politics rely on donations from benefactors- that often don't have the people in mind- this could mean that the Liberal party won't sadly be moving in the Conservative / Traditionalist direction for long. Large benefactors seem to donate to both sides of politics both Economic and Social Liberals to encourage certain policies. But most of these benefactors benefit from globalism and so perhaps would be unlikely to support a Traditionalist Localist political platform- even if it benefits the Australian people.
