The Prime Minister of the UK, for a start, won't stop talking about how his Government is a "progressive, liberal" government. Now, I'm quite happy to accept him calling himself a liberal as within the UK it's perfectly possible to be a liberal conservative, but 'progressive'?
When every party in Parliament except the fascists are calling themselves progressive, the word has no meaning anymore.
