This resistance was arguably a reflection of the extent to which many Liberals still adhered to the Party's <a href="/wiki/William_Ewart_Gladstone" title="William Ewart Gladstone">Gladstonian</a>, classical liberal tradition in spite of the growth of the "<a href="/wiki/New_liberalism_(ideology)" title="New liberalism (ideology)">New Liberalism</a>".
