2. Which are the major political parties now in Britain?
Answer: Although there are so many different parties in the United Kingdom, British politics is after all a battle between Conservative and Labor.
The Conservative Party believes firmly in private enterprises and free competition. But it did not undo the social legislations passed by the Labor Government. The Labor Party, which is in power now, has traditionally drawn support from the trade unions. It has embraced sociali
st ideas, supported governmental control of important industries and advocated more equal distribution of the wealth.
Among some the key issues around which are the two parties fight are foreign policy and economic policy. Pro-Americanism is thus at the center of British foreign policy for both Conservative and Labor governments, though the opposition always accuses the party in power of being too pro-American.
The battle between the two parties over economic policy centers on nationalization and privatization. The Conservatives have been very firm in their belief in free-trade and market
economy, while the Labor Party, owing to its socialist origin, has always emphasized the importance of government involvement in the national economy and the role of the state as provider of welfare benefits to citizens.
