| | Social Democratic Party (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The origin of the party lies in the 1979 Dimbleby Lecture given by Roy Jenkins as he neared the end of his presidency of the European Commission. | | | This meant that the SDP accepted the 'tough' Thatcherite economic reforms of the economy during the 1980s (such as anti-trade union legislation and the privatisation of state industries). | | | The Liberal Democrats also lost to the continuing SDP its one major backer, Lord Sainsbury. |
