Which political parties do we have
IN THE UNITED KINGDOM?
The Westminster Parliament has traditionally been dominated by the two-party system, with two main parties forming the Government and Official Opposition. Over the years these have been Whigs and Tories, Liberals and Conservatives and, since the development of the Labour party since the beginning of the twentieth century, Labour and Conservatives. A number of other smaller parties and, occasionally independent candidates, also win seats in Parliament.
