Norman Baker quits as Home Office minister
« on: November 03, 2014, 10:37:14 pm »
Liberal Democrat MP Norman Baker has resigned as a home office minister with an attack on Home Secretary Theresa May.

Mr Baker told the Independent working in the department was like "walking through mud".

The MP for Lewes was appointed to the Home Office in October 2013.

America's Founding was a "liberal" event, in the lingua of those dayes. The Founders were classical liberals.

The people and concepts were those of advancing freedoms, which was at odds with retaining the powers of traditional states and monarchs.

Which is why I was asking.  The Australian liberal party is what classical liberalism was - a far cry from the gang of dictators who hijacked the term in the US.
