	Liberal Party - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		LIBERAL PARTY, in Great Britain, the name given to and accepted by the successors of the old Whig party (see Whig And Tory), representing the political party opposed to Toryism or Conservatism, and claiming to be the originators and champions of political reform and progressive legislation.
		But throughout its career the Liberal party has always been pushed forward by its extreme Radical wing, and economy in the spending of public money is no longer cherished by those who chiefly represent the non-taxpaying classes.
		In 1861 a central organization was started in the "Liberal Registration Association," composed "of gentlemen of known Liberal opinions"; and a number of "Liberal Associations" soon rose throughout the country.

	LIBERAL PARTY: Featured Article
		In a number of respects, the Liberal Party was a unique phenomenon in American politics, and this is an appropriate time to take a look at the party's role in national and state politics, and its material legacy.
		Thus, for example, in each of the fifteen presidential elections that occurred between 1944 and 2000, the Liberal Party had a nominee on the ballot, and in fourteen of those elections, it was the Democratic candidate for president.
		Anyone knowledgeable about Liberal Party history probably saw some irony in the merger, because as we shall see, a major reason for the party's formation in 1944 was a conflict between the ILGWU's Dubinsky and the then-head of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union.

	Duverger: The Electoral System
		A given electoral regime does not necessarily produce a given party system; it simply exerts an influence in the direction of a particular type of system; it is a force, acting in the midst of other forces, some of which move in an opposite direction.
		The accelerating effect was even more apparent in the case of the Liberal party, which was practically eliminated in fifteen years (1920-35), although it retains a certain number of supporters who are compelled by the electoral system to choose between Conservatives and Labourites.
		The "salvaging" of the Belgian Liberal party through proportional representation, beginning in 1900, is a typical example of this phenomenon.

	Liberal Party (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Liberal Party was one of the two major British political parties from the early 19th century until the 1920s, and a third party of varying strength and importance up to 1988, when it merged with the Social Democratic Party (the SDP) to form a new party which would become known as the Liberal Democrats.
		In 1841 the Liberals lost office to the Conservatives under Sir Robert Peel, but their period in opposition was short, because the Conservatives split over the repeal of the Corn Laws, a free trade issue, and a faction known as the Peelites (but not Peel himself, who died soon after), defected to the Liberal side.
		With many traditional domestic Liberal policies now regarded as irrelevant, he focused the part on opposition to both the rise of Fascism in Europe and the appeasement foreign policy of the British government, arguing that intervention was needed, in contrast to the Labour calls for pacifism.

	History of the British Anti-Apartheid Movement
		Ever since the victory of the National Party in South Africa's 1948 general election, people across the British political spectrum had watched with alarm the introduction of legislation segregating whites, Africans, Coloureds (people of mixed race) and Indians in South Africa.
		The party was divided over nationalisation and nuclear disarmament, and in an attempt to harness the idealism of many of its activists and potential recruits, it declared 1960 to be "Africa Year." As part of this, it supported the March boycott month.
		Hugh Gaitskell made clear that the Labour Party's support for the boycott was "a moral gesture," its object was not "to bring South Africa to its knees." The Boycott Movement accepted that the time was not ripe for calling for a government ban.

		His “Old and New Liberalism: The British Liberal Party’s Approach to the Social Problem, 1906-1914,” submitted "in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts with Honors," asks two central questions: First, did the Liberals “confront or neglect” issues concerning the working class—the so-called “social problem?” (p.163).
