Realism versus idealism

11Apr10

Something occurred to me today: one of the biggest problems facing the Liberal Party these days is their supposed lack of vision – what exciting new ideas do they have that would encourage voters to vote for them? It occurred to me that one of the reasons why the Liberals lack ideas is that many of the young idealists who used to flock to the Liberals are now in the Green Party.

So what we have is a division between pragmatists without ideas, and idealists without a practical hope of getting their ideas put into practice.
