This is quite probably the most liberal thing that Labour has done in more than a decade of government:
A complete ban on smacking has been rejected by ministers...
But the reasoning has nothing to do with liberalism, but rather populism:after a review suggested most parents opposed one. (BBC)
But I suppose the right thing done for the wrong reason is still the right thing.Maybe they will use this new-found liberalism to cut the absurd number of laws that they have passed? Maybe they will use this new-found consideration of the people to decide to hold a referendum on the EU
