Ah...ok...thank you for the explanation. So, the Brits have an uber-leftist party, a leftist party and a centrist (RINO) party, right?

The Lib Dems are kinda weird. They are to left of Labour on the war on terror and Iraq (cause Tony Blair was for it) but they are a little to Labour’s right on some other issues. Historically the old Liberal Party used to be classical liberal (Churchill was a member once before they got too bad) but like our democrats they turned into party of the left. In the past they were more center-left while Labour was full-tilt socialist but since Blair’s “New Labour” moved to the right and they themselves moved more to the left they aren’t very different.

Labour is the party of the unions (hence their name) and college leftys prefer the Lib Dems.

There are still real Conservatives in the Conservative party but there are tons of CINOs too like the new Prime Minister Dave Cameron and even worse the Obama-loving Mayor of London Boris Johnson. Google Boris, his hair puts the Donald’s to shame.
