		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 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.

		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.
		The establishment of the party as a national membership organisation came with the foundation of the National Liberal Federation in 1877.
		By contrast most of the party's seats were won either due to the absence of a candidate from one of the other parties or in rural areas on the "Celtic fringe", where local evidence suggests that economic ideas were at best peripheral to the electorate's concerns.

	Liberal party, former British political party. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The Liberal party was an outgrowth of the Whig party that, after the Reform Bill of 1832 (see Reform Acts), joined with the bulk of enfranchised industrialists and business classes to form a political alliance that, over the next few decades, came to be called the Liberal party.

		Quezon branded Osmeña’s parliamentary attitudes and position as “unipersonalist,” that is, based on the argument that party leadership brought with it the sole power of decision in party and legislative matters, and called for a more republican type of leadership that he called “collectivist,” based on caucuses and equality between the two chambers.
		Thus, when he and his followers formed their own political party, the logical thing to do was to hark back to the genesis of opposition to Osmeña: the formation of a liberal, collectivist party in 1922.

		As the former Liberal Leader John Hewson wrote recently in the Financial Review, "Howard has used Heffernan to distribute dirt and to run his agenda against individuals for almost as long as I have known him." Given that Hewson has known Howard for 25 years, this is a well-entrenched pattern of behaviour.
