I grew up in Europe (Spain), where the term 'liberal' is understood as being centrist and pro-capitalism. You can be either a 'liberal conservative' if you lean slightly right, or a 'leftish liberal' if you agree with some socialist principles.
Here in the US, 'liberal' has a different connotation and it's often meant as 'leftist'. Something similar occurs with the term 'libertarian', which outside the US means 'anarquist'.
So, can one be a progressive democrat? I think yes, our political ideas don't need to be constrained within a rigid frame.

In a U.S context 'Liberal' is usually indicative of someone who is socially libertarian and fiscally centrist. Given the policies other industrialized nations, this is a less and less progressive ideology.

I think your definition of liberals and ours in the U.K are diffreent I don't know how but I think they are so anyone who can enlighten me please do!

No

no...liberals still have themselves on the front of their minds. progressives have everyone's benefit on the fore front of their minds.

Less & Less these days.
