Editing Lib–Lab pact (section)

{{short description|Working arrangement in British politics}}
In British politics, a '''Lib–Lab pact''' is a working arrangement between the [[Liberal Democrats (UK)|Liberal Democrats]] (in previous times, the [[Liberal Party (UK)|Liberal Party]]) and the [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]].

There have been four such arrangements, and one alleged proposal, at the national level. In many [[Local government in the United Kingdom|local councils in the UK]] there are similar arrangements, although there are also arrangements where the Lib Dems and Labour oppose each other and instead form a local alliance with another party or with independent councillors.
