My favourite definition of Liberalism

by Stephen Tall on December 5, 2012

107 years ago today, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman became Liberal Prime Minister. Which is the only excuse I need to roll out one of my all-time favourite definitions of liberalism…

I see I last blogged this quote in April 2007, together with an antidote to my fanboy eulogy for HC-B.
