The Values And Beliefs Of The Liberal Party

Improved Essays
I am a very opinionated individual who takes a great interest in politics, martial arts, and writing. As a person who grew up in a conservative household (where politics was a primary topic to discuss), I was taught the importance of self reliance, independence, and fiscal value. However, on the political spectrum, I identify with the values and beliefs of the Liberal party, meaning I embrace government involvement, economic competition, and advocate individual rights and freedoms. Due to my broad political knowledge, I am able to both understand and consider people opinions with ease, and see both sides of a specific issue/topic. I am a black belt in the goju fighting style and have been doing martial arts since I was 8 years old. Because

    Prime minister candidates for federal elections used to be little more than the leaders of their respective political parties. Besides the unconscious first impressions, the Canadian public typically understood very little about the individuals that may lead the country. Reasonably so, Canadian leaders are not always in the spotlight unless major events occur such as a law implementation or a tragic disaster. The lengthier campaigns simply create additional leaders debates and speeches. These additional demonstrations allow citizens to have a higher interest in party policy and their specific views on certain issues, even minor ones, as they will have increased exposure.…

    In 1962, Lesage’s Liberal Party won re-election with a campaign targeted on the nationalization of hydroelectricity and the slogan “Maîtres chez nous” (Behiels & Hayday, 2011, p. 184). In effect, the numerous changes that were made reflected the Québécois, because Lesage wanted to fortify Quebec nationalism. One of the most successful changes made by the Lesage government was the secularization of Quebec from the Roman Catholic Church, through the education reform (Pious, 1973, p. 56). In 1964, the school curriculum and powers over schools and teachers were essentially taken away from the Church and entrusted under the new Ministry of Education, whose aim was to produce a skilled labour force and instill Québécois values (Behiels & Hayday,…

    From his office in Windsor, Mr. McKay expressed his [i]concern[/i] about the popular moods in the party. He pointed out that throughout the 90s and indeed until this very moment, "the conservative party has moved dramatically to the left in a desparate try to be recognized as a centrist formation.

    On January 8, 1828, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison became the founders of the newly formed Democratic Party. Over time the Democratic Party has become one of the most popular political parties in the United States of America. Thomas Jefferson bestowed the ideas of the natural rights upon the Democratic Party and till this day the party still supports those rights. Amongst all political parties, the Democratic Party best upholds the Declaration principles of life, liberty, and property/pursuit of happiness based upon their positions on issues such as the right to bear arms, pro-choice, and same-sex marriage. A comparison between the Republican Party and the Democratic Party will show that the Democratic Party is more likely to push for a separation of church and state, which best protects the citizens while still being able to encourage religion.…

    The political parties have been part of the United States government for as long as anyone can remember, but the question is: should they be? There are multiple perspectives on this, one being that political parties benefit the system, another being that political parties are the problem. As a country, it’s not often considered that we could be doing something wrong --especially in government -- but it’s time to open our minds and consider it. Long before many can actually remember, George Washington came into office and founded the very democracy that still stands today.…

    During most controversial topics, people tend to favorite one side without hearing an opposing view. Growing up in a predominantly white high school and college for Kailegh Tinnin and myself, only gave us unanswered questions about our society when it came to racial discussions. Why do we live in a world that acts negative without a discussion when someone disagrees with our opinions? Kailegh had racial slurs directed at her in high school.…

    The Populist party started out as a grassroots movement in Texas known as the Farmers’ Alliance that felt unrepresented in politics. They were against the demonetization of silver and evolved into a somewhat major political party during the 1890’s but in the long run merged with the democratic party. They were first known as The Grange and speaking in short term they had failed to achieve most of their goals. The Populists had many main goals which were to re-monetize silver, abolish national banks, gradual income tax, 8 hour work days, become a permanent major political party, and put a populist in the presidential office. The 1900 Gold Standard Act stopped the silver movement and showed America’s dedication to gold.…

    Liberal Party Structure

    While both structure and agency played a key role in the replacing of the Liberal party with Labour it could be said that structure worked more as a catalyst while agency played a direct part in the replacement of the Liberal party; it could be argued “structure and agency [cannot] be divorced” (McHugh, 2001, p.6). While values giving way to class and an electorate tripling in size does create some convincing arguments that structure is the best explanation for Labour replacing the Liberal party as the main opposition to the Conservatives it seems that agency underpins these; the argument that the Liberals failed to find an unchanging ideological position seems to run through the core of their demise; this mixed with their apparent insecurity…

    The Republican Platform’s Views on Three Topics There are two main platforms in politics in the United States with third parties in the mix.

    The Conservative Movement arose to answer three major concerns. The first concern of the Conservative Movement was to repeal New Deal programs. Over the years this transformed into more of a fight against “big government” and New Deal programs were the central pillar of “big government”. The next goal of the Conservative movement dealt with the destruction of Communism and creating a foreign policy that exemplified this desire. According to the Conservative Movement, Communism was seen as a threat to America and the rest of world, and conservatives saw liberal foreign policy on Communism as weak and wanted to change US’s foreign policy to be more aggressive.…

    Liberalism is defined as a political and social philosophy, which encourages freedom of the individual, and involves little or no state intervention. The earliest liberal ideology was classical, which emerged at the dawn of the Enlightenment era. Classical liberalism, sometimes called ‘nineteenth century liberalism’ ( Heywood,2004), dominated the era with its doctrines based around the idea of self interest enticing human behaviour, stemming from utilitarianism theory. Modern liberalism, on the other hand was born towards the end of the nineteenth century and centred around a more sensitive outlook towards state intervention, compared to classical liberalism, where emphasis lay on a ‘watchman’ state (Heywood,2004).
