PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATISM VS REGRESSIVE...:

A Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition could work (Tom Clougherty, May 8, 2010, CS Monitor)

Many people have talked about how a Lib Dem–Labour coalition would be a ‘progressive’ alliance against conservatism. But could a Tory-Lib Dem pact actually signal a far more welcome realignment of British politics – a union of liberals against statists and authoritarians? Perhaps that is going too far.

I know that any British government, whatever its composition, is going to be more statist than I would like. But maybe for classical liberals like me, this will at least be a government we can do business with.
