Actually there is a big difference betqween being Liberal and being Left wing or Labour.....
This Labour, left wing government is a government regulation freak. They would like to prescribe every action and possibility of behaviour and severly restrict the freedom of the individual to behave in the way they wish, hardly Liberal......
Over here the liberals the ones between the left and the right, they haven't been in power for ever and a day and currently are in their usual position, behind the others...
They are generally against big government, which is restrictive and against the complete commercial freedom which leads to exploitation. So every one dislikes something in theri policies and they get few votes.
Let's face it the Republicans bakc the free market with all its advantages and disadvantages, and the Democrates are not liberal at all. They want to define what you can and cannot do etc etc. Hardly 'liberal'. Oh they may want to make gay marriage legal or other cahnges but the fundamanetal approach is to increase regulation and reduce individual choice.
Have fun in November because from over here both are pretty dreadful and your options, like ours are limited.
