Kontan: I don't actually agree with smoking bans. There's one in this country in public places and I think it's wrongly restrictive. There must be something American going on that's masquerading as liberal.

I think one should note that classical liberalism and neoliberalism are two different ideals. The former being very libertarian and individualistic in thought and practice, and the latter leaning more Statist and more in line with the Labour Party of the UK and the Democrat Party of the US (though Republicans have lots of neoliberal ideals, as well).
