This was not always the case even in the UK: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberal_Party_(UK)#Ideology. Contrast that with the liberals in Germany: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Democratic_Party_(Germany). | |

Remember that most of these words have a latin origin, something European languages are more sensitive to. Many US terms are a bit wonky. E.g. "Libertarian" was invented, first used by, and is still used by anarchist socialists. Many people prefer the word Anarcho-capitalist to make things unambiguous. | |
