Labour and the Liberal Democrats are both left of center. I can't get my head around why their members have such a difficult time being part of the same party. In the United States, they would all be Democrats.

Both are socially left wing, but the Lib Dems tend to be more capitalist/free market, which goes against the ideological roots of the Labour Party, based on equality and socialism.
