Liberal Democrat Party

Famous quotes containing the words liberal, democrat and/or party:

    A liberal is a conservative who has been arrested.
    Tom Wolfe (b. 1931)

    I am a democrat only on principle, not by instinct—nobody is that. Doubtless some people say they are, but this world is grievously given to lying.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    In inner-party politics, these methods lead, as we shall yet see, to this: the party organization substitutes itself for the party, the central committee substitutes itself for the organization, and, finally, a “dictator” substitutes himself for the central committee.
    Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)
