Hey there Earthlings, Alternatives and Trollers. Put down that mouse and lend an ear. Welcome to The Bandersnatch blog where we talk weird, wacky and wondrous. I'm The Bandersnatch and I have no idea what I'm doing.
Random blog day boo yah. As you should know Fridays is random blog day were we talk anything and everything and pretty much run with it. Today's blog is on Elections and the political parties.
Yesterday in the city where I live was the Elections for the Police and Crime Commissioners for Sussex police area and it got me thinking ans as such here's a blog,
An Election is a formal group making decision process. Of which a population or group collectively choses an individual or multiple individuals to hold public office for a time. Elections have been the usual mechanism for voting since the 17th century. Elections fill many offices in the Legislature, along with the executive, Judiciary and for regional and local governments. This process can also be used in private and business organisations from clubs to corporations and voluntary associations,
In the UK. There are five types of elections: Elections to the House of Commons (UK Government), elections to devolved parliaments and assemblies (General elections when all seats are contested), local elections Mayoral elections and Police and Crime Commissioner elections. Within each of these elections there can be By-Elections. Most elections tend to be held on “Election Day” which conveniently, tends to be on Thursdays.
In the pursuit of fairness and equality here's the political parties that ran in the local elections...
THE CONSERVATIVES

THE TORIES
With the official name of The Conservative and Unionist Party and commonly known by and called both the Conservatives and The Tories.

The Tories politics sit both Right-wing and Centre Right on the general political spectrum, it holds various factions within itself including One-Nation Conservatives, Thatcherites and Traditionalist Conservatives. The Tories played a pre-eminent position during the height of the British Empire with Benjamin Disraeli being a well known leader. In 1912 the Liberal Unionist Party joined forces with the Tories forming the Conservative and Unionist Party, From 1920 the Tories main political rivals have been the Labour party, such rivalry has shaped modern British Politics for the last century. The Tories hold an annual conference at which the senior conservative figures promote party policy.
THE LIBERAL DEMOCRATES

The Liberal Democrats, commonly called the Lib Dems are a Liberal political party which were founded in 1988 and are the UK's third largest political party since the early 1990's.

During the 1990's and 2000's the Lib Dems grew focusing its campaigns on specific seats and becoming the third-largest party in the house of commons.
