 | | 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. | | | This has been achieved under the conventions of first past the post elections, which the party has argued is not truly reflective of the strength of the parties. | | | However in the run up to the 1987 election a formal Alliance pact was drawn up where the two parties would decide which seats each was running in so as not to split their vote. |

| | Liberal Party - ENCYCLOPEDIA - The History Channel UK |
| | In 1969, John Lindsay, having lost the Republican nomination, won reelection as mayor of New York City on the Liberal ticket; the Liberal party has also elected its own U.S. congressman, a president of the New York City Council, and numerous other local officials. | | | Criticized for having too close ties with the Democratic party, its support of John Lindsay, the Republican mayoral candidate in 1965, and of Republican Senator Jacob Javits, tended to quell such criticism. | | | In its first year of existence it was responsible for Franklin Delano Roosevelt's carrying New York state and in the 1960 presidential election it provided New York's margin of victory for John F. Kennedy. |
