Recently David Cameroon won the general elections in the recently contested elections in UK. we often get confused what the Conservative Party, and the Labour Party or The Liberal Democrats basically are? Read the following article to get a feel of the subject.
Who are Liberals?
A liberal is generally thought to be someone who supports large government with heavily funded social programs and favors social engineering.
The Democratic Party is considered by most Americans to be a liberal political party.
A conservative, on the other hand, is generally thought to be someone who supports small government, does not support government funded social programs and is against any form of social engineering.
The Republican Party is considered by most Americans to be a conservative political party.
Both parties tend to be defined by their supposed interpretation of the Constitution. Of course, both liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans claim that they observe and support the Constitution of the United States, but as we shall see both the liberal and conservative agendas are diametrically opposed to the Constitution.
BJP was founded in 1980. The ideology basically revolve around Hindutva. The aim of the party is to enlighten and strengthen India on the lines of Hindu ideology.
The party aims at establishing state the offers equal oppurtunity of liberty to every creed, caste or sex.
Indian National Congress -
This is one of the prominent party in India along from BJP. INC is ideologically committed to socialism, secularism and democracy.
The party played a important role in the independence of India.
Communist Parties -
The two communist parties in India are Communist party of India (CPI) and Communist party of India – Marxist (CPI-M). Communist party is one of the oldest in India, was founded in 1925. The communists advocate the people to be economically equal and the people should not be divided in to poor and rich.
Right wing politics in India
Religious and ethnic groups are considered right-wing. In India, Hindu nationalism is sometimes considered a part of the Right. The Hindu nationalist movement has attracted privileged groups fearing encroachment on their dominant positions.
Leftist in India –
The Leftist with his pro-subsidies, pro big government, minority-appeasing policies, human rights concerns and weak-kneed approach to law and order is seen as passe. Communist party of India (CPI) and Communist party of India – Marxist (CPI-M) are the left parties in India
Analogies -

- The liberals in UK and US can be considered same as what INC is in India.
