Britain has so many more political parties represented in Parliament than we have in our Congress because Britain is a much older country and its three main political parties (Labour Party, Conservative Party, and Liberal Democrat Party) date back to the English civil wars of the 1640s and 1650s. The other smaller Parties come from the other countries in Great Britain including Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
