This thinkpiece makes the case for radical liberalism in today’s political context. Paul Pettinger and Chris Bowers make the case that the Lib Dems should embrace and advance radical social liberal values, such as seeking the devolution of power as well as wealth, and empowering people as individuals. The paper reaches the conclusion that in the current political landscape, the Lib Dems must keep pushing for proportional representation, and engage in a progressive alliance to make this a reality.
