They're all liberal parties though. There are no left parties in NL. Irishman here.
There are social democratic parties and to call them liberal would be a bit too much
Is there a difference between a liberal and a social democrat that amounts to a distinction?
In practice, no. In theory, liberals believe in the free market while the socdems do not. But both will defend the market as such, which is why socdems are ineffectual and easily duped by bourgeois interests.
a liberal is anyone who believes in the tenets of liberalism, mainly those active in a bourgeois democracy
contemporary socdems believe in those, they're libs too
