Liberal Democrats (United Kingdom)

The Liberal Democrats are a centrist political party in the United Kingdom that promotes individual rights, social justice, environmental sustainability, and a fair economy. They support a mixed economy with public services like healthcare and education, and advocate for reforms such as electoral change and stronger environmental policies.
