the main parties, Labour and the Conservatives, have increased in comparison to the differences between them. Traditionally, the parties were dissimilar in ideology and policy, however now they are much more similar, but differ in the way in which they want to implement their policies.

For example, the peacetime economic boom that they were able to take advantage of. The Labour disunity also had knock effects like Labour being unable to take advantage of the Suez crisis.

The Main Disagreements Between the Conservative, Labour and Liberal Democrat Parties The three main parties in UK politics, Labour, Conservatives and Liberal Democrats, are all based on greatly differing ideologies which can often lead to them having varying viewpoints on key issues. These differences can often lead to conflicts or disagreements between the parties over which policy will be most beneficial to the country. A particularly controversial and fiercely contested

The Growth of the Labour Party and the Decline of the Liberal Party At the end of World War One in November 1918 the Labour Party emerged as a strong political Party. Prior to this it was the Liberal Party that was expected to be the main opposition to the Conservatives, with Labour as a party who used the popularity of the Liberals to become noticed.
