Three Friends at an Intersection

Three young men or women, or two men and woman, or two women and a man (to avoid sexist stereotyping) are walking down the street and come across an elderly woman (or man) attempting to cross the street.

One young man/woman says, clearly the government needs to do something about the traffic and pedestrian problems, we need to get a crossing signal installed, I shall write the mayor.

Another says, the whole urban area is flawed, a traffic signal isn't doing enough, we need to reroute traffic so these poor old people don't face this kind of problem, I shall push for design of a new city plan and seek stimulus funding to implement new traffic flow and eliminate this problem for all future generations.

The third agrees there may be wisdom in those approaches, but questions the cost versus gain as he assists the person across the street.

Can you pick out the Liberal, Progressive, and Fiscal Conservative?
