Liberal Party

The Liberal Party was a major political party in the United Kingdom during the 20th century. Jeremy Thorpe was once their leader.

In 1963, Ian Chesterton was a Liberal supporter whereas Barbara Wright was a supporter of the Conservative Party. She regarded his politics as "wrong but romantic." (PROSE: Nothing at the End of the Lane)

In the 1970s, a coalition of Liberals, various disenfranchised Tories and Socialists, and a group of minor fringe parties won the general election. They ran on a platform of social reform, the abolition of the death penalty, and a strong interstellar defence programme. (PROSE: The Devil Goblins from Neptune)
