As usual the Liberals offer a mixture of sound and original

Summary

This quote humorously criticizes the Liberals by suggesting that while they may present a combination of sensible and innovative ideas, these ideas lack freshness or practicality. It implies that the party might not truly offer any valuable or impactful solutions, as the commonly accepted ideas they posit are not new, and the novel concepts they introduce are flawed or ineffective. Ultimately, it implies a level of skepticism towards the Liberals and their ability to deliver effective and practical policies.
