	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.

	Liberal Democrats - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Lib Dems are the third-largest party in the UK Parliament, behind Labour and the Conservatives, with 63 Members of Parliament - 62 elected at the general election of 2005, they held Cheadle in the Cheadle by-election (July 2005) and gained one at the Dunfermline and West Fife by-elections.
		The Liberal Democrats are descended from the Liberal Party, one of the two major British political parties of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries; the Liberal were themselves descended from the British Whig Party, and the term "Whig" is still occasionally used as a nickname for the modern Lib Dems.
		However, whereas the social liberals often argue in favour of using the power of the state to enhance the freedoms of its citizens (so-called "positive liberty", libertarians take a non-interventionist approach to the economy and do not beleive in the state's ability to increase individual fredom (this is the "negative liberty" theory).
