While the LP is derided, and rightly so, for being a bit
frothy/extremist/wacko, the actual sentiment of the country as a whole,
which is more important, really, than what brand of politician is
winning, is swinging smartly in the more freedom, less government
direction, and that's a good thing.

Unfortunately, the country is simultaneously swinging in a "Government is
the mommy to take care of me" direction.  Weird things happen when a large
group of people is looked at as a unified whole, which it isn't.
