User:Electionworld/Liberal lexicon
Welcome to my Liberal lexicon. It is a collection of links on liberalism - as I see it - through Wikipedia. Since one can have a discussion on what liberalism is, I have chosen to make an own entrance. Generally in my approach of liberalism I follow the approach of the main internationational liberal organisations, like Liberal International and the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party. The articles itself are articles on Wikipedia and are free to debate. I have made also a user:Wilfried Derksen/Liberal bibliography.
