Obviously I recognise that you can have socially progressive parties that are in other ways conservative. I just thought that the wording was kind of funny. A bit like being a member of the Authoritarian Libertarian Party
Which is what I meant when I said "you don't have to live in a cave" Basically we just believe that you don't throw out the baby with the bathwater. We also believe that goood ideas are good ideas, no matter where they come from, unlike most here.
