UK Political Parties

One party serves for the working man, promoting payment for poor, unemployed and the workforce. The other cuts more from the poor and gives advantages to the rich people, like letting them have less tax payment and such. There is another, which is mid-way, they are more liberal in their duty, but they try to grab both parties and round up as many as possible. Other parties in the UK include national parties; anti-EU; peace parties; green-energy parties.

With there new "we're all in this together" and 'Big Society', the Conservatives seem quite liberal in their dealings from previous years but rest assured, they're just the same party as they have been for the past century.

The Conservatives are the more 'posh' government and also get the job of cleaning up the economy and social system after Labour destroys all the funds. This is why, especially to Northerners, the Conservatives party is seen as the more "greedy" and "evil" party. This is because more people were and still are on social-benefits in the North and Conservatives try and get rid of welfare, entrusting everyone get's a job. There much more industrial work in the North, which costs the Government millions to run (mines, etc), Conservatives cut jobs if the industry is not making enough.

They're really all about cutting the jobs, increasing the commitment of every worker and getting more people in employment. They try to work more harder to get less unimportant payment out of the way, and try to create a country which is self-sufficient. Conservatives also have a knack for raising VAT and taxes, like they did previously in 2010: raising VAT from 15% to 17.5%

We've seen some powerful leaders in the past century, who have took on the job as Conservative PM. From Winston Churchill, the ferocious leader of WWII; to Margaret Thatcher, the powerful madam who took the poor England, knocked down all the unnecessary money-wasting projects, built an empire of cash and became England's most-powerful Prime Minister, ever.

After thirteen years of Labour, we've finally reached the 'okay, we're seriously in debt' stage - which is where Conservatives come and clean up everything. Labour, on the whole, are more favoured in times of prosperity. They bring more social-welfare, they give advantages in wages and normally cut taxes.

Labour's all about helping the working man, although under Tony Blair's leadership, Labour seen it move from a left-wing union friendly group, to more of centred party. Working all the ideals of a perfect government, this worked, until Tony Blair started failing in government. With his decision to move into Afghanistan being the first "major mistake", then Iraq, which will turn out to be Blair's biggest mistake, being noted as his worst subject to be questioned on. Many people were turned off the Blair 'swag' after the Wars on Terror, but he still was kept in power till 2007, where he resigned to give control to Gordon Brown, who dropped out the election, letting David Cameron become Prime Minister.

Many times in the past, labour has won elections by promising things they know will eventually have to be cut. They win by, quite simply, asking the people if they'd want five-ten years prosperity with perks or five-ten years of dull cuts, of course, with that question, you always opt for the best choice, even if there's dyer drawbacks.

• Ramsay McDonald - the first Labour leader in 1924, he lasted until 1931. He was booted out after not being able to handle the financial crisis of the Wall Street Crash, although the next PM, Stanley Baldwin, didn't do much to help the building back either, even though he was a Conservative.
• Tony Blair - While he may have been noted as the ass-licker of Bush, he did keep a clean sheet as one of the best employed governments. Especially after years of Tory saving.

The Liberal Democrats or Lib Dems are the coalition government, which consists of Conservatives and Lib Dems. Even though these two parties are in coalition, their policies and ideals are chalk and cheese, they couldn't be more unalike.

Liberal Democrats support reforms and are the first to suggest new ideas to the country. Unlike Conservatives, they want to see the good happen to everyone, not just a few people rich enough to escape the taxation. They would like to see decisions that require 25% of the vote scrapped, which would make some plans that have "only Conservative" ideals in them abolished. The Lib Dems say how if they were elected, they would reform the government, the social work, the welfare and the industrial side - making it more liberal and fair for everyone.

Lib Dems have been criticized for allowing some of David Cameron's actions to pass, due to them being in the coalition. While Nick Clegg, in his own right, is a great politician and in my view, better than Cameron at speaking and getting the truth out - he lacks in the party he is leading. Lib Dems have not been in charge of the government for over 70 years.

Many people shrug off the idea of a Liberal government, because of how long it's been, no matter how much Clegg, or anyone tells the public they've changed and they need a chance, not many people seem to want to go against their two mains: Conservative or Labour. Although, in the 2010 General Election, if the voting system was different, Lib Dems could have been in power right now, instead of Conservatives.

The Liberal Democrats have only been in English politics since 1988, ever since the merger of the Liberal Party, whom have most ideals similar to Lib Dems, and the Social Democratic Party. The Liberal Party have had a few leaders, back in the times of before WWI.

Other than the three main, you've got the BNP, who are a nationalist party looking to kick immigrants out of the country and create a 'all white' society.

There's the green party, who look to restore our environmental policies to be "the best in Europe", the only reason they haven't got a bigger following is because they're only interested in environmental matters, their other policies lack.

UKIP, who's only "main" policy is to get out of the EU, got a more-than-satisfactory 14% of the vote this election. Like the green party, they've got to up their other policies before getting into office.
