| | National Liberal Party (UK) - Factbites |
| | The Labour Party is a centre-left or social democratic political party in Britain (see British politics), and one of the United Kingdom's three main political parties. | | | The formal name is a vestige from the 1912 merger with the Liberal Unionist Party, and an echo of the party's defence (1886-1921) of the Union of Great Britain and Ireland and subsequent insistence on British sovereignty in Northern Ireland in opposition to Irish nationalist and republican aspirations. | | | The party is led by Scotland's Deputy First Minister Nicol Stephen MSP and is a state party within the Liberal Democrats led by Rt Hon Charles Kennedy MP. |
