Due to this lineage the party is still often referred to as the Tory Party. As well as the more correct description of Conservatives, its members are also called Tories. The Conservative Party was in government for two-thirds of the twentieth century, but it has been in opposition in Parliament since losing the 1997 election to the Labour Party. http://www.freewebs.com/partysz/ http://www.cuteonly.com/?a_aid=66d0253c&a_bid=e57e7b80 ******************************************************************************************** --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Fun on the World -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
