代寫英國(guó)dissertationIn an April Fool’s Day hoax about British politics, the UK's Guardian newspaper reported" that the Labor Party plans to exploit Prime Minister Gordon Brown's reputation for anger and physical aggression in an advertising campaign touting Brown's "tough guy" image.
"Following months of allegations about Brown's explosive outbursts and bullying, Downing Street will seize the initiative this week with a national billboard campaign portraying him as 'a sort of Dirty Harry Figure'. One poster shows a glowering Brown alongside the caption 'Step outside, posh boy,' while another asks 'Do you want some of this'?" wrote the Guardian's Olaf Priol.
The story pokes fun at both of the UK's main political parties and their leaders. The unpopular prime minister and the head of the opposition party, David Cameron, were the main targets. But all jokes aside, the British political system does have a fascinating history as one of the world's oldest and most effective multi-party democracies.
      Labor Party
The Labor Party has been in power in the UK since 1997. It's a relative new-comer to the British political scene. It wasn't formed until the beginning of the 20th century. It became a force of the political left in the 1920s. As its name suggests, the party originated from the 19th century trade union movement as well as socialist political parties seeking representation for workers. Historically, the party was broadly in favor of socialism. It only dropped the term from its manifesto in 1992, under the leadership of Tony Blair.
It was also Tony Blair who championed the "New Labor" movement in the 1990s. He moved the party from the political left toward the middle, to attract more voters. The strategy met with huge success when the party won a landslide victory in the general election in 1997. Blair remained in 10 Downing Street for a decade. His once surging popularity took a turn for the worse when he joined then US President George Bush in starting the Iraq War. The decision eventually cost him most of his political support.
    After a series of scandals and election setbacks, Blair stepped down in 2007. He was replaced by Gordon Brown. Brown, however, has proven no more popular than his predecessor. As the Guardian hoax story suggested his quick temper has been troubling for him and his party. A recent book revealed that Brown 's abusive behavior left Downing Street staff so frightened that he was ordered by the cabinet secretary to “curb his volcanic temper" in February.
        Conservative Party
The Conservative Party, the main opposition to Labor, is still often referred to as the Tory Party. The name dates back to its origins from the old Tory Party that was founded as long ago as 1678. The modern Conservative Party was founded in 1912.#p#分頁(yè)標(biāo)題#e#
Old Tories represented the more conservative royalist supporters of Charles II in the late 17th century. Historically, the Conservative party also strongly opposed the   independence of Scotland and Wales. More recently, it has led the fight to keep the British pound as currency, instead of the euro.
Since the election of David Cameron as leader, party policy has increasingly focused on quality of life issues, such as the environment, government services and education. In terms of foreign policy', the Party favors close ties with the United States, Canada, Australia and Japan.
Despite its current absence from power, the Conservative Party led the British government for two-thirds of the 20th century.

Current party leader David Cameron, with his good looks and charismatic manners has pledged to reform the party. The result has been a sharp rise to reform the party. The result has been a sharp rise in its opinion poll ratings. Currently, it claims a small lead over Labor.
The next general election in the UK to elect a new House of Commons is expected to take place on May 6.
