Liberal+Democratic+Party



The Liberal Democratic Party foundations 1.1 This party became a prominent force in United kingdom politics because of an alliance formed between two partys known as the Liberal Democratic Party and the Social Democratic party.

Social Democratic Party in- The party had its origins in four prominent members of the Labour Party, Roy Jenkins, David Owens, Billl Rodgers and Shirley Williams, that were convinced that the Labor party was corrupted by a far-left wing trotsky agenda. They broke away in 1981 and created the SDP. The SDP became instantly known as vote sweeper as they swept up a large portion of the minority party votes and was iconic for it's use of claret ,a red wine, to garner votes.However it became immediately apparnt that if the new party was to be successful they would have to merge with the Liberal Party. liberal Party: The Liberal party was founded in the 1840's and by WWII had met it's manifesto and had been demoted as a second rate party after the party's stance of opposing the axis in the 1930's. The merge with the SDP was a much needed boost for the political dinosaur

The merge became what is known as an Alliance and it is important to note that before 1987 the retained their individual party identities but shared the ballot. IN 1987 after a horrendous election, they permanently formed the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). =====

Precepts The Liberal Democratic Party as discussed in detail above covers a wide swath of disaffected voters from both ends of the political spectrum (roughly two fifths of their voters are not officially part of the party). It plays on the dissatisfaction of voters with the Torie party and have made this a part of their manifesto. Primarily it is trying to make elections fairer and reformulate the house of lords. On the top of it's long list of things to do, the party wants to promote a green agenda and looks to heavy involvement in the E.U and additional selected social welfare involvement to set the UK on the path to enhanced freedom and economic stability.Additionally, a Ancillary movement has begun within the party that wants to see the NHS function on a more local level. Polls and elections In recent years it has been the smiling face on the tellie (television) and has flourished in the mass medias new focused political view. Primarily focused on Labor goals a coalition was almost formed between the Labor Party and the LDP ,but was delayed and eventually canceled by Labor's success at the elections. In elections the LDP has felt the wrath of the first-past-the-post system and while it is trying to become the leading second largest party analysists conclude that the party will only gain strength if pertinent issues are brought to the forefront in their manifesto, such as taking a hard line to economic policy, or they will they will remain the third largest party until 2042. Health Care ﻿Liberal Democrats believe that the patients should come first and that the NHS would be improved if people had a say in how things are run. Liberal Democrats believe in fairness and a guaranteed Health Care, priority based on need, and the idea that patients should come first. The Liberal Democrats want to put the Doctors and nurses back in charge of the hospitals that they work in. Environment The LDP promotes the kyoto protocol and is very cautious about the UK's environmental impact. To prevent this it has provisioned in it's manifesto strict adherence to green guidelines and has become a adherent of renewable energy. This is in part that the labor party underplays the left-wing green agenda. <span style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 130%;">E.U. <span style="font-family: Impact,Charcoal,sans-serif; font-size: 130%; line-height: 0px; overflow: hidden;">﻿  <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; lineheight: 0px; overflow: hidden;">﻿Liberal Democrats want to put the countries security as the number one priority, they want to put the British decency and rule of law as the center of the foreign policy.
