Since not too long ago, both the Nationalist and the Labour parties have been labelling themselves as open to liberal ideas. Do they mean subjects like the introduction of gay marriage, abortion, legalising cannabis, having a local porn industry, removing petty censorship in the arts? The list goes on.

If none of these things, then what? They both sound rather vague and dishonest. What precisely do they have in mind when they claim to invite liberal suggestions? To me it sounds like a lot of talk but no walk.
