Lib Dems are sort of a cross between Labour (liberal, left spectrum) and Conservative (right spectrum) the liberal democrat moniker confuses those outside the UK to think they are like American Dems, they’re actually more like a British libertarian, Labour is the UK version of the Democratic Party.

Thank you for the correction.

The parallels are:

US GOPe = UK Conservative Party
US Democrats = UK Labor Party
US Tea Party = UK Independence Party
US Libertarians = UK Liberal Democrats

That should cover it.
