Who should you define as a Classical liberal in the world of Politik
Asquith? Who his [most of ] own party stage a coup and threw out due to his inability to do the job?
Gladstone?
“My objection to Liberalism is this that it is the introduction into ..business of life of the highest kind namely, politics of philosophical ideas instead of political principles”
But that was of identical origin as:
” difference between a misfortune and a calamity is this: If Gladstone fell into the Thames, it would be a misfortune. But if someone dragged him out .. that would be a calamity”
