Good question. The Australian Liberal Party is the right wing party. The left wing party is the Labour Party.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

This sounds about right.
Progressives try accomplishing something, right or wrong.
While conservatives try blocking everything, right or wrong.
Looks surprisingly like the snapshot of the US congress the past few years.
Anyways...

Go players are, on average, rather on the smart side, so you won't find that many conservatives in here, I am afraid...
Try the chess forums. :twisted:

Perhaps these last several comments might be better addressed privately to Daal's daughter.

Yes, otherwise we might get into a brawl over the distribution of popcorn!

BTW., my daughter now has gathered enough interviews. Thanks to all!

Conservatives make popcorn the old fashioned way.

So do Liberals, but not with genetically modified popcorn.

Ok, so I'll lock this thread. I don't see how leaving it active can lead to a good end.
