 Conservative Party (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (via CobWeb/3.1 planetlab1.netlab.uky.edu)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The Conservative Party is descended from the Tory Party of the eighteenth and nineteenth Centuries.
This originates from the 1912 merger with the Liberal Unionist Party, and is an echo of the party's defence (1886-1921) of maintaining the Union of Great Britain and Ireland, in opposition to Irish nationalist and republican aspirations.
The internal organisation of the Conservative Party is a contrast between constituency groups who offer grassroots support and dominate in the election of party leaders, and the members of the Conservative Central Office who lead in financing, the organisation of elections, and drafting of policy.

Russia: The so-called Liberal Democratic Party of Russia is not at all liberal; it is a nationalist, right-wing populist party.
Social democrats support a large public sector and the nationalization of utilities such as gas and electricity in order to avoid private monopolies, achieve social justice, and raise living standards for all.
Internationally, however, some libertarian political parties adhere to the use of the term "liberal" without further qualification such as ACT of New Zealand which refers itself as "the liberal party."http://www.act.org.nz.cob-web.org:8888/ Generally, this happens in countries where no larger "liberal party" exists, and thus there is no risk of confusion.

While many American "liberals" would be "social democrats" in European terms, very few of them openly embrace the term "left"; in the United States, the term is mainly embraced by New Left activists, certain portions of the labor movement, and people who See their intellectual or political heritage as descending from 19th-century socialist movements.
The "New Left" has had varying degrees of unity since its rise in the 1960s, and can be seen as a coalition of numerous distinct movements, including (but not limited to) feminists, greens, some labor unions, some atheists, some gay rights activists, and some minority ethnic and racially oriented civil rights groups.
For example, the Democratic Leadership Council (in which Bill Clinton was active) is generally considered to form the right wing of the U.S. Democratic Party (which outside the US is considered to be right of center), but in terms of the whole country he was generally perceived as being on the moderate left.

Increased electoral competitiveness due to increased parties contesting elections, the presence of a SNTV, and the division of purpose between the executive and legislative branches contributed to the increased deficits.

However, the Agrarian party leaders were very strong in the areas they were from and wanted to use SMD as a way to eliminate competition.
