Pretty much- disaffected Labour members formed the S.D.P., which also joined with the Liberals to form the Lib-Dems. On social issues they became more 'soft' than Labourites like anti-gay Blunkett, or pro-hunting Hoey.Originally posted by KrazyHorse
Is it really that recent?
It was a Liberal that first suggested comprehensive socialized health care schemes in the U.K. by the way, though it fell to a Labour government to implement them.Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.

When I first heard a Brit here mention the Lib-Dems a few years ago I thought he'd walked out of a time machine. I didn't even know they were still around...
In the UK, that is. We've still got them...12-17-10 Mohamed Bouazizi NEVER FORGET

Evenn today, the British Labour Party is still a relatively broad 'church'- it has to be to simultaneously accommodate the likes of Big Brother Blunkett and less socially doctrinaire members.
Why, even the Tory Party now has an out gay member of parliament. Still has lots and lots of roomy closets, though....Vive la liberte. Noor Inayat Khan, Dachau.
