Lib-Lab Pact
Lib-Lab Pact has been the term used to describe a working arrangement between the UK's political parties of the Liberals (later Liberal Democrats) and the Labour Party.
19th century
Before the Labour Party had been formed, various candidates stood for Parliament with backing of the Liberal Party and the Labour Representation League, including Thomas Burt, Harry Broadhurst and Alexander Macdonald. These MPs were referred to as 'Lib-Lab', although there was not a formal 'pact'.
