(2,029 posts)2. Socialists
Socialists have a difficult relationship with liberal reformers.
Their alliances in the past ( in other countries) have been tacticl and short lived - the Popular Fronts in France and Spain.
They need Liberals to create distance from Conservatives and to keep Conservatives out of power.
But, successful liberal reforms tend to stop radical change - the New Dear prevented a revolution.
And, socialists tend not to be all that socially liberal. They tend to seriously overplay "class conflict".
So, "be careful among dem English".
