Infobox

[edit]

The current infobox only relates to Dahrendorf's term in the House of Lords. For example, the infobox states: Political party: None (crossbencher). In Germany, he was an FDP politician, and I'd say his tenures as Parliamentary Secretary of State and European Commissioner (as an FDP politician) is at least as relevant. Somehow, more of his offices should be dealt with in the infobox. UweBayern (talk) 06:26, 20 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thought/Answer

[edit]

RD was indeed a member of the German FDP. In the UK he was recommended for peerage by the Liberal Democratic Party. Although he sat as a crossbencher, it is fair to qualify his political views as a 'Liberal Democratic'. 10:06, 14 May 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.74.8.68 (talk)

SQ - Simple Question

[edit]

As far as I remember Ralf D., at that time to be named Sir, did, in the early 1980´ies (?), a BBC-piece 180´ on (conservativeness of) the class-structure in Britain, RD was "on stage" personally and did his best;-). - What I´m looking for is not that bullshitterly small-minded pocket book on the issue but the very piece itself ... perhaps anybody has got the dates ... thanx from The Other Side of The Channel;-) 80.136.82.88 (talk) 19:22, 9 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hitler Youth

[edit]

I just added a line about Ralf's short experience in the Hitler Youth. I just want to ensure that folks don't assume this was a malicious edit. I referenced the book the info is from, but wasn't sure if I should reference it as a physical text or a link to the google version. Here's the relevant passage on Google:

"one of the most influential thinkers of his generation".

[edit]

I tracked down a source for the statement. The statement was from a single individual, Nick Clegg, leader of Britain's Liberal Democrats.[1]. A single tribute by a deputy prime minister hardly justifies inclusion in the lede as a generalized statement.
