An establishment liberal figure

In the early 1970s, Green Arrow became a co-feature with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Lantern (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hal_Jordan) in an acclaimed series of stories by O'Neil and Adams that dealt with various social and political issues. The two co-stars served to represent contrasting sociopolitical viewpoints: Green Arrow spoke for radical change while Green Lantern was an establishment liberal figure, wanting to work within existing institutions of government and law.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_Arrow#cite_note-back45-8

I'd like to know what "an establishment liberal figure" means.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Someone well known for his liberal (as opposed to conservative) political views and who held positions of authority, official or unofficial. A non-establishment figure is someone in opposition to and on the outside of the societal power structure.
