Liberal program urged to unite Irreconcilables and Nonconformists
A commentary argues the Irreconcilables should press a broad reform agenda including Free Church in a Free State and secularising Church endowments, with focus on Free Land Free Schools and Free Labour as core planks. It urges Labour alignment, reform of conspiracy law, housing clauses, and abolition of prison for breach of contract, warning moderates to yield.
