The Duke Of Omnium

...is a character in Anthony Trollope's The Pallisers. The story centers on Glencora and Plantagenet Palliser. Lady Glencora has a cousin, Alice Vavasor, who holds strong views on politics. She speaks of supporting the secret ballot, something Plantagenet - an up and coming star in the Liberal party - is not yet radical enough to support.

Alice is a Liberal, recently changed nomenclature from Whig.

I respect Liberals and Conservatives.
I dislike Right-wingers and Left-wingers.

Liberals and Conservatives have true differences of opinion and theory. Wingers are alike in their madness.
