Answer 6

Before WWII, labour didn't exist. Labour as it stands is an amalgamation of the liberal party and other more left-wing parties, but Tony Blair moved it much further to the right with 'New' labour.

The Lib dems came later. So although there has never been a Lib Dem PM (because they don't have enough MPs) there were Liberal Pm's before WWII, notably Winston Churchill, who changed from Conservatives to the Liberals earlier on in his career.

Answer 7

Never, the top parties in Britain are Labour and Conservative.

I would be in the Conservative party if I lived in Britain although Labour is better than Liberal Democrat for sure.

Answer 8

No the lib dem party have never been in power.

Answer 9

Never, but the Liberals singular used to be the natural party of opposition to the Tories and had the famous Lloyd George as one of their PM's, way back in the 1920's ?!
