Liberal (Y), and YES to proportional voting. I want to see how this Liberal Britain goes.

One of your votes is perfect – the other, not so much.

Yes, Labour has a "u" in it, and an "o" and only one "l" and no letter "I" - otherwise, perfect spelling. :D

So here's the reason I asked about the colour of Enewaldism earlier.
"Political movements in post-war Britannia 0.5"
I'm wide open to any suggestions about ANYTHING.
 
Dammit. Well, this is exactly the reason why this one was version 0.5.

It is essentially Grimondite Liberalism, but we need some orange, blue, white and buff on there! :D
 
Not having regulations benefits some more than others duder...

Regulations exist to benefit one group A over group B. Without regulations we return to the natural spontaneous order of things, where the equilibrium will be reached easier with no government messing up the factors.
Whilst before regulation X comes to effect, A may be in a position that both A and B would prefer as the best position available, but there is absolutely no power of law that prevents B from usurping the place of A.
Example would be agriculture, where trade barriers prevent foreign goods from entering the market at fair prices. The local farmers are thus subsidized. The consumer cannot buy cheaper foreign goods, thus consumes less, which is a welfare loss. His utility could be greater, were he allowed to purchase and consume more products, even if they were foreign.
The regulations benefit the local farmers, but end up causing mischief to foreign farmers and local consumers.
Regulations twist the market, and always result in a consumers, the common mans, loss of utility. :)

As for Tanzhangs mockery, I cannot follow his rational line of though. :p

Elections are always 'quid pro quo'. You get me elected, I promise you this and that.
The question is how much handing out of others people money should be allowed.
The politician who gets elected does not promise to repair the roads with his own money. Nor does he promise to his buddies at unions that the workers will be taxed harder so that the roads can be repaired.
No, he promises to tax those other guys, those who would and do not vote for him. :)

This is less of a problem in direct democracy. When people are given the choice whether they want to fund a new town hall out of their own pockets, they know who pays the bill and vote according to how much they would value a new town hall.

As it is currently in Britain, we have a brutal Westminster system, where the best organized minority wastes little time handing out benefits to those who voted for them, whilst having little moral issues in taxing someone else who did not support them in the elections slightly more.
Currently we are just voting in a referendum whether we want to keep dictatorship of the minority, or switch to a dictatorship of the majority. :)
 
Also, sorry to make your life harder Contra, but there is a definite Scottish Quarter to the bench, if only in the centre.

So Enewald confesses to being an irrational socialist then? Good, you've saved yourself from the perils of our painful instruments of torture, such as the dreaded comfy chair.
 
Dammit. Well, this is exactly the reason why this one was version 0.5.

But Enewaldism and the Cult of Hayek are identical! (also, it's either "Powellites" or "Powellism" :p)

Where exactly would you like to put it? Between Lemons, Hayek and Feminitards?
Also, You are really just making my life easier here, thanks. I would HATE to guess any of this crap.

Cult of Hayek and Enewald never really got along, it seemed like.
And a "Powellist" was something I made up out of "Powellism", I will correct my mistake at once.
