  Radicals (UK) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Radicals were a parliamentary political grouping in the United Kingdom in the early to mid 19th century, who helped to transform the Whigs into the Liberal Party.
The parliamentary radicals were distinctly middle class; their radicalism consisted in opposition to the political dominance and economic interests of the traditional British elites, rather than to any affinity to socialism.
The Radicals joined with the Whigs and the anti-protectionist Tory Peelites to form the Liberal Party by 1859.
