I think JJP has gone off the deep end…
I guess you're addicted to some sort of drug then…
I'm surprised no-one has got back to you on this. I'm linking the Britannica definition here. The impression I get is that it was quite a wide spread of thought, but ultimately split into what became the Conservative & Unionist Party (the 'Tories'), and I'm presuming the old Liberal Party.
For reference, the main UK parties are the Conservatives, the Labour Party (moved somewhat leftwards by groups such as Momentum), the Liberal Democrats (currently somewhat depleted due to infighting due to the positions taken in the campaign to leave the EU), and the Green Party. Other notables are the Scottish National Party (SNP), Plaid Cymru (The Party of Wales). Northern Ireland has the , Ulster Unionist Party, Democratic Unionist Party, and Sinn Féin as their main parties.
The Conservatives are traditionally considered Centre-Right parties, although they are probably Centre-Left these days. The Labour Party were Centre-Left, but took a nice shove to the left…they are probably along the same lines as the Socialist Labour Party now. There are also a number of socialist/communist parties. In fact, possibly into double figures if the wikipedia article is vaguely accurate.
Basically the Labour Party would align with the US Democrat Party. They often make out that they are the 'party of the people', but mainly are influenced by the various trade unions such as Unite etc. Strangely enough a lot of the Labour heartlands are poorer areas, former industrial centres and have their issues with corruption. Sadiq Khan is Labour for reference.
In fact places like Rotherham and Huddersfield are Labour…you might have heard of them in relation to the 'Asian' rape gangs..of which there are still trials ongoing.
The Green Party of England and Wales have 1 seat in the House of Commons…out of 650 seats…but they are basically lefties as well.
Willie Thorne has died. Not the corona, just leukaemia.

Willie Thorne: Snooker favourite dies aged 66
Former snooker star and BBC commentator Willie Thorne has died at the age of 66, says World Snooker.
Thorne was diagnosed with leukaemia in March and was taken to hospital in Spain last week with dangerously low blood pressure.
He retired from professional snooker in 2001 and for many years was a respected BBC commentator.
Thorne reached two World Championship quarter-finals during his career and won the 1985 Mercantile Credit Classic.
He twice reached a world ranking of seven and spent 20 years among the top 32, before moving into a commentary career spanning more than 30 years with BBC, ITV and Sky.
A GoFundMe page set up to help pay for his treatment had passed £17,000 by Tuesday afternoon, when it was disclosed he had been placed into an induced coma.
His carer, Julie O'Neill, wrote on the page on Wednesday: "It is with a very heavy and broken heart that I have to officially announce that at 1.55am this morning Willie Thorne lost his battle and passed away.
"Willie went into septic shock and was not responding to any treatment so the decision was made by the hospital to turn off the machines.
"I was with him all the way to his end and reading out messages to him from people. He passed away very peacefully and without pain listening to his children saying they love him. That gives me some comfort in this difficult time."
Known as Mr Maximum, Thorne was the third player to reach the landmark of 100 centuries and made a 147 in the 1987 UK Championship.
'A marvellous snooker player and a lovely man'
Born in Leicester, Thorne was a long-term friend of ex-footballer Gary Lineker and the former England and Leicester City striker said he was "deeply saddened" by the news.
Writing on social media, the Match of the Day presenter added: "One of life's great characters. A marvellous snooker player and a lovely man, who's potted his final black much too soon. RIP Willie."
Former world champion Dennis Taylor, a long-standing colleague of Thorne in the commentary box, wrote: "Devastating news about Willie Thorne. We laughed our way around the world for 45 years. RIP Great One. That was my name for him. The Great WT. Lots of love to his family."
Seven-time world champion Stephen Hendry wrote: "Very sad news today, Willie was one of my favourite people in snooker. I know he had faults and weaknesses (we all do) but he was one of the game's greatest ever characters, I'll miss him."
