Labour Party: Information from Answers.com (7644 words) |
 | It is currently the party of government in the United Kingdom and also in national and regional parliaments or assemblies in Scotland (in coalition with the Scottish Liberal Democrats), Wales and London. |
| The Labour party returned to government with a wafer-thin 4 seat majority under Harold Wilson in the 1964 election, and increased their majority to 98 in 1966 election remaining in power until the 1970 election which contrary to expectations during the campaign they lost. |
| At the 1987 general election, the party was again defeated in a landslide, but had at least re-established itself as the clear challengers to the Conservatives and gained 20 seats reducing the Conservative majority to 102 from 143 in 1983 despite a sharp rise in turnout. |
| Green Party Review (7914 words) |
| But because the Green Parties were created decades ago when there was a lot less depressing information and a lot fewer scared people, a significant percentage of social utopians were among the original founders and some of their ideals found their way into the constitutions and original documents of the organization. |
| As a result, political parties often run for office spouting slogans that sound really good until they form a government and find out that it would be a catastrophe if they actually followed their own platform. |
| Partially, this is because most farmers are as materialistic as anyone else, and they wanted to continue in the cash economy. |
