The Liberal Party (UK)

The Liberal Party was a major political party in the UK that promoted individual freedoms, social justice, and free trade. Established in the 19th century, it played a significant role in shaping modern liberalism and advocating for reforms such as extending voting rights and social progress. In 1988, it merged with the Social Democratic Party to form the Liberal Democrats, which continues to be a key political force representing centrist and progressive policies today. The party historically emphasized democracy, civil liberties, and economic opportunities, influencing UK politics for over a century.
