Short story: the social-liberal side got their asses kicked in elections a few years back because populistic, moralistic right-wingers managed to influence voters' irrational fears. The free-market and conservative crowd went along with the right-wingers, then the social democrats followed suit to avoid losing more voters, so now we completely lack good parties.
The funny thing is that the same people who are now complaining about government infringing upon our liberties are the ones who are responsible for all this shit happening, because they were stupid enough to vote for the "tough"-talking parties.
I'm actually thinking of starting a new, serious, party. One that is both socially and economically liberal. (ie, social freedom and economic freedom, free people and free markets)
