This edition is timely, since the year 2010 has seen a definitive resurrection of Liberal power. Subsequent to the General show more Election of July 2010 the government of the United Kingdom has been in the hands of a Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition. The Deputy Prime Minister is the leader of the Liberal Democratic Partythe direct successor of the old Liberal Party examined by Dangerfield. Five Liberal Democrat members of Parliament were appointed to the Cabinet and there are Liberal Democrat ministers in all governmental departments. After decades of absence from government power, Liberalism seems to be back with a vengeance. George Dangerfield (1904-1986) was an English journalist, historian, and literary editor of Vanity Fair.
