This is the British Party of the right, including broad range of traditional conservatives and royalists, neo-liberals and social conservatives. A majority of party members are in favour of a revision of the terms of Britain's membership of the EU, and the holding of a referendum on withdrawal. But other conservatives, including industrial and business leaders, are strongly pro-European. The Conservative Party is made up of local Associations which play a major role in the selection of candidates and the appointment of the party leader.
This newspapers support the conservative because Theresa May is telling us that “the leader of the Labour Party is an old-fashioned international socialist who has forged links with those quite ready to use terror when they haven’t got their way: the IRA, Hizbollah, Hamas. As a result he is completely unfit to govern and Britain would be less safe with him in No 10”.
UKIP (The UK Independence Party)
A sovereignist party that wants Britain to withdraw from the EU. The party has little in the way of policies, apart from Europe-bashing, but is surprisingly popular with voters disgruntled with the perceived failures of the main parties.
The Liberal Democrats...(Centre Party)
A party of the center, formed in 1988 by the merger of the Liberal Party and the Social Democratic Party (SPD). The party is the most pro-European of the major British parties, and until 2015 shared power with the Conservative Party in the coalition government. Many of those who voted Lib-Dem in 2010 were furious when the party chose to go into coalition with the Conservatives, and in the 2015 election, the Lib Dems lost most of their MPs. However, following the election of left-winger Jeremy Corbyn to the head of the Labour party in September 2015, and the subsequent internal divisions in the Labour party, support for the Lib-Dems has begun to rise again
The Labour Party...(Left Wing)
The Labour party covers virtually the whole spectrum of left wing politics in Britain, and includes a smaller party known as the Co-operative party. The party is supported and funded by the British trade unions, but it is not controlled or significantly influenced by them, and this influence was further reduced in 2015. Very weak following the recession of the 1970s, the party was largely reformed later by Tony Blair, who transformed it into a modern social democratic party. The Labour Party is made up of local parties (Constituency Labour Parties), most British trade unions and other associations. These structures send delegates to party conferences, depending on the number of their members. Party Conferences define the general lines of party policy, but conference decisions are not binding on the parliamentary party .
This newspaper supports the Labour Party because there is a prediction that Labour will gain more votes, whereas the Conservatives will lose votes.
