UK Political Parties

Research your party’s platform.  Decide which end of the political spectrum (conservative, moderate, liberal) your party belongs.  Bullet point your party’s stance on the major issues of British politics.

The following sites will aide in your search:
     Spectrum

Include the following as well:
            * Where your party falls on the spectrum
            * List of planks in your party's platform (use the "ideologies and policies" link above)
            * The party symbol (look up on line)
            * Percent of popular vote in 2010 election
            * Number of seats won in parliament as a result (what impact does the
                        FPTP system have on your parties number of seats? +/-?)
            * Leader of the party (picture)
            * Any policies your party has specifically advocated for
            * Closest competition (which political parties does it share voters)
