The Social Democratic party, which was formed in 1981 by politically centrist members of the Labour party , joined with the Liberals in 1981 in an electoral alliance, and in 1983 they won 23 seats in the House of Commons. In 1987 the alliance won 22 seats, and the next year the parties merged. In the 1997 parliamentary elections the Liberal Democrats won 46 seats, the largest number won by the group since the predecessor Liberals held 59 seats in 1929. Nonetheless, the party remains a minor party in British politics, its centrist position threatened by Tony Blair 's movement of the Labour party away from socialist positions. The current party leader is Charles Kennedy.

63. The Progressive Political Party Chasm Neither party was perfect, but the democrats were remarkably better than the politics, there is a huge difference between democrats and Republicans. http://www.irregulartimes.com/nodifferencedems.html

Is There Any Difference Between Democrats and Republicans? A long-standing gripe has cast a shadow over liberal activism for the last generation: The complaint that there is no real difference between Republicans and Democrats. The claim that politicians in the Republican Party and in the Democratic Party are really all alike has been most prominently made by Ralph Nader and his followers in the Green Party. Today, as a proud member of the reality-based community, I decided to ask a simple question: Is it true? Is there really no difference between Democrats and Republicans? The best way to answer this question is to look at the voting records of the politicians who represent the Republican and Democratic political parties at the national level - the members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate. It just so happens that we at Irregular Times have been tracking this very information since the beginning of 2005, assembling a unique set of progressive scorecards for each and every member of the 109th Congress. A progressive score has been assigned to every member of Congress, based on their support or lack of support for key items of progressive legislation. This progressive score measures the real actions taken by members of Congress on such vital issues as raising the minimum wage, opposition to the Bush's Administration's policy of torture, restoring protection from unreasonable search and seizure by government agents, outlawing propaganda in the form of pseudojournalism from the White House, protecting people from exploitation by credit card companies, preventing the Secretary of Homeland Security from taking the power to operate above the law, stopping the Religious Right from introducing religious discrimination into government hiring, increasing voter participation, establishing a paper trail for all elections, protecting the environment from corporate greed, and stopping government censorship, and finally establishing equal rights for women.

The Australian Democrats (DEM) Origins: The Australian Democrats were established in 1977 by a number of reformist groups, including the Australia Party and the New Liberal Movement, led by former Liberal Party Minister, Don Chipp. The founders created the new party as a reaction to what they saw as the 'entrenched power and vested interests' of the major political parties – the ALP and the Liberal-National Party coalition. The Democrats' aimed to become a 'centre party' alternative, without ties to any particular economic sector (trade unions or business) so it could 'serve the best interests of all Australians'. Interests represented: The Australian Democrats aim to be a free political voice without vested interests. Generally, supporters have been diverse, issue-focused voters, tending to be young professionals but without grouping into clearly defined interest segments. Values: The Australian Democrats is a party of concerns rather than of a set ideology. It advocates a more participatory democracy with curbs on the power of unions and big business. The party claims that it has the most democratic operation of all Australian political parties. It supports the maintenance of significant public enterprise and a strong government role in correcting social inequality and in protecting the environment and human rights. In the Parliaments: In federal politics the party has held a number of Senate seats, which has often given it the 'balance of power' in national government. It has not succeeded in having members elected to the House of Representatives. In State Parliaments the party has had representation in the lower houses in Tasmania and South Australia and in the upper houses in three States: South Australia, New South Wales and Western Australia.

Refresh this page often The English Democrats party was formed in 2002 because the New labour Government in its rush to secure national devolution for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, completely ignored the interests and indeed the existence of England. Our primary objective is the creation of an English Parliament and Executive within the United Kingdom with the same powers as the Scottish Parliament and Executive. We believe that the people of the England need a political party which will represent their interests and the interests of England as a nation in its own right. We are proud to call ourselves English patriots but we are not racists or extremists. Membership of the English Democrats Party is open to anyone, whatever their ethnicity or culture. All we require is that members are broadly in agreement with our manifesto and abide by the rules of our constitution. We are committed to the creation of a Parliament for England but we are not a single issue party. We are committed to government of the people of England, by the people of England and for the people of England. We believe it is important to preserve the traditional freedoms of the people of England such as Habeas Corpus and trial by Jury. We believe in a system of government that gives as much power and freedom as possible to the people and communities of England As a political party we recognise that real Democracy is much more than the ability to choose, from time to time, between broadly similar parties which compete amongst themselves for power. Real democracy is measured by the ability of the people to manage their political, economic, physical, and cultural environment. We believe in real LOCAL Government not artificial Regional Bureaucracies. We believe that any change in the Constitution or Government of England should only be made by the people of England in a Referendum.

The United Kingdom, for those unfamiliar with its politics, is governed by a multi-party representative democracy. Three political parties, at time of writing, dominate the scene. The Conservatives, sometimes called by their old name of 'Tories', and the Labour party are two. The third major party is the Liberal Democrats, and this is their story. On 2 March, 1988, the Social Democratic Party (SDP) voted to merge with the Liberal Party. They were originally called the Social and Liberal Democrats, however there was much confusion over this name and it was later shortened first to simply 'The Democrats' and then by a vote of the members in 1989 to the Liberal Democrats . For a number of years before the official merger of the two parties they had been co-operating and had contested the 1987 General Election as the SDP-Liberal Alliance. The two parties for this election had decided to nominate one candidate to represent the two of them to try and gain more seats for the centre parties in the UK. Historical Background The Liberals stemmed out of the Whigs, one of the two loosely banded together 'parties' in the early parliaments. In the early part of the 19th Century a further grouping of Radicals started to gain representation and position within Parliament. The Radicals came alongside the Whigs, and in 1834, under the leadership of Lord John Russell, started to be known as the Liberal Party. For the rest of that century, the Liberals were either in Government or in opposition to the Tories. Four times in the latter half of the century William Gladstone lead the party to election success, the most times anyone has become Prime Minister while standing for the opposition.

But it is important to know the difference between the MPs and what they stand for so your vote can go to the candidate, MP, or party who you think will represent the interests of you and your community. Political parties in the UK are voted in by the electorate - majority of the population over the age of 18 who are entitled to vote . The process is pretty simple: The Prime Minister can call for a General Election at any time within 5 years of his or her term to choose the UK government. A minimum of 3 weeks later there's an election, where you get to vote for your Member of Parliament (MP) for your local constituency and as a result, you vote for the UK government. MPs can be independent, representing their own manifesto, or members of a Political Party (e.g Conservative Party, Labour Party, Liberal Democrats, Plaid Cymru, SNP, etc) who represent their political party's manifesto.

74. American Experience | The Time Of The Lincolns | Partisan Politics The political party system entered an era of change when the issues surrounding Southern democrats walked out of the Democratic National Convention, http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/lincolns/politics/tl_tree.html

Political Party Timeline: 1836-1864 The political party system entered an era of change when the issues surrounding slavery took center stage. Fears were spurred by the threat of slavery or of abolition in new territories; the influx of immigrants; the rise of industry; and the perpetual conflict over states' rights. These concerns drove many Americans to seek different political alliances. New parties sprung up, representing the nation's widely differing opinions. Some of these parties were short-lived, since they represented such narrow interests. Amid this turmoil, the Republican Party was born... and the Whig Party disappeared. Whigs: Henry Clay The Whig Party formed out of the National Republican Party, the leaders of which were John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay. They were nationalists, supported internal improvements and moral reforms, and desired gradual westward expansion in congruence with economic growth and modernization . The Whigs were based in New England and New York, mostly made up of Northern middle-class people, market-oriented farmers, and native-born skilled workers. In 1836, the Whigs factioned off, but generally united against Jackson's policies of the last eight years. They especially disliked Martin Van Buren, Jackson's hand-chosen successor. Democrats: Martin Van Buren The Democrats were the successors of Jeffersonian democracy. They favored localism and freedom from modern institutions such as banks, factories, and reform movements. They had a commitment to states' rights, a limited government, and an

ANALYSIS Howard Fineman MSNBC contributor WASHINGTON - A political party is dying before our eyes - and I don't mean the Democrats. I'm talking about the "mainstream media," which is being destroyed by the opposition (or worse, the casual disdain) of George Bush's Republican Party; by competition from other news outlets (led by the internet and Fox's canny Roger Ailes); and by its own fraying  journalistic standards. At the height of its power, the AMMP (the American Mainstream Media Party) helped validate the civil rights movement, end a war and oust a power-mad president. But all that is ancient history. Now the AMMP is reeling, and not just from the humiliation of CBS News. We have a president who feels it's almost a point of honor
