We choose Macron.

Posted by A.H. on Sunday, April 23, 2017,
Our endorsement for the French presidential election
On Sunday, France's choice goes beyond a president. It is a choice between openness, freedom, liberal democracy, and an embrace of authoritarianism and isolation, whether in its far-right or far-left disguise.

We believe only one candidate stands up for the values of openness, globalization and economic and social liberty. That candidate is Emmanuel Macron. We urge the French people to choose Mr. Macron as their next president. For France...

We choose globalization. We choose to remain.

Our endorsement for the EU referendum in Britain

On Thursday, Britons will go to the polls to make the most important decision in a generation: whether to remain in the European Union or to leave the 28-member club. Much has been said by both camps during the last few months, but we strongly believe that the facts –both on the economic argument and the security argument– are clearly on one side: the Remain camp.

On the economic front, it is clear that the overwhelming majority of organ...

An easy choice in Sweden

Posted by A.H. on Saturday, September 13, 2014,
Our endorsement for the Swedish general election 



Swedes go to the polls tomorrow to choose a new Parliament. After eight years in power, the liberal center-right Alliance (Alliansen) is in danger of being thrown out of power by the Social Democrats and their leftist allies. This would be a regrettable outcome for one of the world's success stories of the last decade.   

Looking at Sweden's record during the last eight years, one could argue --especially from a liberal perspective-- that that i...

Euro Election Results: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Posted by A.H. on Tuesday, May 27, 2014,
The Good: 

- Pro-European parties (center-right + center-left + liberals) will continue to dominate the EU Parliament 
- Liberals remain the third largest group, holding the balance between Left and Right  
- The center-right has, once again, won more seats than the center-left 
- Liberal plurality of seats in the Netherlands, Estonia, Finland and Lithuania 
- UK Conservatives did better than expected despite the UKIP surge, while Labour did far worse than expected    
 
The Bad: 

- UK Liberal Dem...

A strong liberal center and center-right is needed in Europe

Euro citizens should vote to defend what has made Europe prosperous

European Union citizens go to the polls tomorrow to choose a new European Parliament for the next five years. At a time when the freedom of movement and the freedom to do business are at great danger from the populist Right and the Left, it is essential to have a strong liberal, pro-market presence to defend and continue to advance what has made Europe prosperous: the freedom of movement of goods, services, capital and people....

Our endorsement for the German federal election


Germans will decide on Sunday if they want to keep Angela Merkel as their chancellor after eight years in power. According to polls, an overwhelming majority of voters – around 60% – prefer Merkel as chancellor rather than her Social Democratic challenger Peer Steinbrück. It is not difficult to see why. Unlike most of its Euro-zone neighbours, the German economy is doing pretty well. Unemployment is at a two-decade low, investor confidence...

Dear Italians, give Berlusconi a slap in the face at the polling booth

Posted by A.H. on Saturday, February 23, 2013,

Our endorsement for the Italian general election



Italians go to the polls on Sunday and Monday amidst a difficult economic scenario at home and in the Eurozone. While the reforms taken by current Prime Minister Mario Monti to sort out the country’s fiscal crisis have had a positive effect –although much remains to be done on that front–, he has failed to put together a broad coalition to win the election and has decided to pander to socially conservative segments of Italian society.

Mr...

It’s time to balance Denmark’s politics

Our endorsement for today's Danish general election

Danes go to the polls today to choose a new Parliament and a new government.  While the current Liberal-Conservative administration has some good results to show on the economy, its policies on immigration and other social issues –highly influenced by the far-right Danish People’s Party, on which support the current government depends– have been disappointing to say the least.

We strongly believe in the importance of a balanced rep...

We need a liberal Netherlands at the heart of a liberal Europe.

Posted by A.H. on Wednesday, June 9, 2010,

On Wednesday, June 9th, Dutch voters will go the polls to choose a new Parliament. As one of the most progressive and liberal societies in the world, the decision the Netherlands makes today is very important for those of us who care about liberty, openness and human rights. While we believe Dutch voters will, in the end, make a wise choice, there are threats to the values liberals so deeply care about. In this occasion, the major threat comes from the extremist and xenophobic PVV –also (...

German liberals on the rise

Posted by A.H. on Tuesday, September 15, 2009,

The Free Democratic Party (FDP), Germany's liberal political party, has launched its latest internet ad highligthing the party's central motto for the upcoming federal election: "Strengthening the middle." . The FDP has seen its poll numbers go up in the last months due to the public's dissatisfaction with the two major parties, the Christian Democrats and the Social Democrats, which have been governing Germany in an odd 'grand coalition' since 2005. According to the latest polls, The FDP -wh...

European elections endorsements

Posted by A.H. on Wednesday, June 3, 2009,
Tomorrow, the future of Europe is at stake. As liberals, we support the efforts to make Europe an open area, where goods, services, capitals and people can move freely and safely. We believe that Europe and the United States are the guardians of liberty in the world. To keep it that way, it is essential to advance liberalism in the European Parliament. For this reason, we endorse the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party (ELDR) and its respective member political parties. 

To find out whi...

Our endorsement for the UK Local and European elections

On Thursday, June 4th, Britons will go to the polls to choose their representatives for the European Parliament as well as local councilors. In deciding our endorsement, we asked ourselves two main questions: Which party has shown a pragmatic and solutions-oriented approach to governing? And finally, which party has consistently stood up for the principles and values of liberalism? Our answer to both questions was very easy: only the Lib...

Nick Clegg launches campaign for Euro elections

Posted by A.H. on Tuesday, May 12, 2009,
UK Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg launched today the campaign for the upcoming European elections under the slogan "Stronger together, poorer apart," signaling the party's strong commitment to a strong and united European Union. Clegg affirmed that Labour is finished and that a vote for the Conservatives is a vote for a less safe Britain and Europe.

German elections: CDU/FDP coalition could win

Posted by A.H. on Tuesday, May 5, 2009,
Germany will vote on September. According to polls, a coalition of Christian Democrats and Free Democrats (Liberals) could get enough votes to form government. Check out the latest polls: http://www.spiegel.de/flash/0,5532,13290,00.html
