  • Liberal Party (UK)

    The Liberal Party was a liberal political party which was one of the two major parties in the United Kingdom in the 19th and early 20th century.

    The party arose from an alliance of Whigs and free-trade Peelites and Radicals in the 1850s. By the end of the nineteenth century, it had formed four governments under William Gladstone. Despite splitting over the issue of Irish Home Rule, the party returned to power in 1906 with a landslide victory and introduced the welfare reforms that created a basic British welfare state. H. H. Asquith was Liberal Prime Minister between 1908 and 1916, followed by David Lloyd George whose premiership lasted until 1922 when the coalition the party had formed with the Conservative Party in World War I came to an end.

    By the end of the 1920s, the Labour Party had replaced the Liberals as the Tories' main rival. The party went into decline and by the 1950s won no more than six seats at general elections. Apart from notable by-election victories, the party's fortunes did not improve significantly until it formed the SDP–Liberal Alliance with the newly formed Social Democratic Party (SDP) in 1981. At the 1983 General Election, the Alliance won over a quarter of the vote, but only 23 of the 650 seats it contested. At the 1987 General Election, its vote fell below 23% and the Liberal and Social Democratic parties merged in 1988 to form the Liberal Democrats. A small Liberal Party was formed in 1989 by party members opposed to the merger.

    Liberalism

    Liberalism is a political philosophy or worldview founded on ideas of liberty and equality. The former principle is stressed in classical liberalism while the latter is more evident in social liberalism. Liberals espouse a wide array of views depending on their understanding of these principles, but generally they support ideas and programs such as freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, free markets, civil rights, democratic societies, secular governments, and international cooperation.

    Liberalism first became a distinct political movement during the Age of Enlightenment, when it became popular among philosophers and economists in the Western world. Liberalism rejected the notions, common at the time, of hereditary privilege, state religion, absolute monarchy, and the Divine Right of Kings. The 17th-century philosopher John Locke is often credited with founding liberalism as a distinct philosophical tradition. Locke argued that each man has a natural right to life, liberty and property, while adding that governments must not violate these rights based on the social contract. Liberals opposed traditional conservatism and sought to replace absolutism in government with representative democracy and the rule of law.

    Breakdown Day

    by: Lou Barlow

    You can love a lie
    let a girl/man come inside
    but never dare to let your need break through
    you can't set it free
    can't bear what you might be
    it's sure to be a breakdown day come soon
    your will is tested
    it's not like you could be arrested
    letting go to penetrate a peace
    peace of body - peace of soul
    but you're a pig of self-control
    numb and cold, you starved your hole
    now it's sure to steal your soul
    please, please, please yourself
    please, please, please your hole
    but don't say please, it annoys me
    you'll rot with disease if you don't please yourself
    you have learned the strengths to annoy me
    if a longing can be filled
    when someone finally fits
    it's tight but you'll get used to it
    it hurts but you'll learn to crave it
    glory, too aware of yourself
