"The FDP has had the great good luck that they aren't currently part of the federal government and they haven't been associated with the crisis," Dietmar Herz, a professor of political science at Erfurt University, told SPIEGEL ONLINE. "Partially as a result, the party has been able to develop an image of economic expertise." It couldn’t be clearer: No new taxes. Germany has decisively rejected the tired nostrums of the Social Democratic Party, which campaigned on raising taxes on the wealthy and was the junior partner of the Christian Democrats in a grand coalition during the past four years.

Today, the Swatantra Party's symbol -- a white star on a powder-blue background -- may not stir political passions. But its free market liberal economy ideology propagated to "counteract the mindless acceptance by the country of socialist rhetoric which in reality was only a camouflage for statism," is thriving.

DNA newspaper has report on the event.

The FNF Alumni India Website is now online. HERE, you will find a constant source of information about the activities of the Alumni Members of the Organisation in India. Learn about India Alumni Events for the year 2009 - 10, and see if there is a Alumni Member in your city/region.

We also have a Web Directory section where one can submit their links in Liberalism and related events.

We will also be carrying out Polls on Liberalism etc. and you can participate in the same.

Muggy Friday afternoons may generally be better suited to a snooze and planning for the weekend ahead, but friends and colleagues of the Friedrich-Naumann-Foundation had other ideas up their sleeve on the 22nd September.
