Abstract
British politics is party politics which takes place in what is fundamentally a two-party system. In this chapter, therefore, we shall focus principally upon the Conservative and Labour parties, as they have been the two most significant political forces, at any rate since the Second World War. Beyond them we shall look at the smaller parties, whether those with a national aspiration — such as the Liberal Democratic party — or those with a more geographically limited vocation, such as the nationalist parties in Scotland and Wales. We shall also consider briefly the parties in Northern Ireland and the fringe parties in the rest of the United Kingdom — the Greens, the National Front and so on.
