Livre d'Or

Speaking as a lefty Canadian who's lived in a bunch of countries (including yours, and including the UK), I'd argue that internationally speaking, liv's views are more centrist than right-wing. (Internationally speaking, the U.S. use of the term 'liberal' to mean 'left-wing' or at least 'left-wing-by-U.S.-standards' is also extremely confusing when it comes to these kinds of views, by the way, but that's beside the point.)

And for the record, liv, while I do disagree with you on most of this, I'm delighted to read about your views because they're well thought through and not completely driven by knee-jerk "this must be right because it's what I'm used to" sentiment, which I appreciate.
