| The Liberal Party of Canada (French: Parti libéral du Canada), colloquially known as the Grits, is the oldest federally registered party in Canada. In the conventional political spectrum, the party sits between the centre and the centre-left.[2] Historically the Liberal Party has positioned itself to the left of the Conservative Party and to the right of the New Democratic Party (NDP).[3] The party dominated federal politics for much of Canada's history, holding power for almost 69 years in the 20th century, more than any other party in a developed country. Over the last decade however the party has lost a significant amount of support, to the benefit of both the Conservative Party and the NDP. In the most recent federal election, held on May 2, 2011, the party had its worst showing in its history. The Liberal Party captured 18 per cent of the popular vote and won 34 seats, becoming the third-place party in the House of Commons for the first time.[4] On May 25, 2011, the Li Ice Dam Removal MinneapolisIT Support UK | |
