What's the difference between Labour and the Liberal Dems?

We Answered:

There is no difference between Labour the Lib-Dems or the Conservative party hence the ease at which the tories and lib-dems formed a coalition, the tories are actually pretty liberal and labour copied a lot of the tory policies when they were in power, they all blend together and are one united bunch of people known collectively as parliament.

Its a local election, if Labour win it will just mean they gain one seat in Parliament, Labour would have to win another 100 seats before anything would happen.

Sue Said:

What are the best and worst polices of Labour, Conservatives, Liberal democrats, and UKIP?

We Answered:

The Lib..Lab..Cons have no policies to offer that can bring Britain back on the upward stroke..

That's why I support "UKIP". There policies are very good as already explained to you from other answers.

But if you need more info about "UKIP" Go into http://www.ukip.org And see for your self..

It can only make Britain a better place... It surely cant be any worse.

What is the difference between the Liberal Democrats and Labour in your country?

We Answered:

You may note that this is a question about British politics. If the words "House of Commons" and "Labour" do not give you a clue, then perhaps the little British Union flag under the question will prompt you to consider.

Labour is the historically left-wing party - traditionally it represented the interests of trades union, the working class, and industrial workers. Since the 1990s, however, it has come to be blandly centrist, with statist and authoritarian leanings. It was in power from 1997 until 2010.

The Conservatives (Tories) are traditionally the right wing party representing the interests of capital, of land-owners, of industrialists, the Church, and the elite. Since the 1980s, they have advocated a wildly unregulated free-market ideology and privatisation of anything that moves. They were in power from 1979 to 1997, and again from May this year.

The Liberal Democrats started out as a centrist party between the two extremes, a continuation of the old Liberal tradition of Asquith and Lloyd George. Since the 1980s, they have had a strong left-wing element due to members of the Social Democratic Party (which broke off from Labour and migrated to join the Liberals under the Lib Dem banner). Most of their supporters are lefties and students who are absolutely furious that their leader has gone into coalition with the Tories.

The present Tory-Lib Dem coalition is an odd beast, which attempts to be both conservative and broadly libertarian, while both (right wing) Tories and (left wing) Lib Dems are highly uncomfortable at what their leaders are doing. The Lib dems have been forced to walk back on a number of their most prominent election promises (most notably slashing tuition fees), with the result that they are probably going to be shafted at the next election.
