 Southport Resolution

The Southport Resolution is a set of triple-lock directives of the Liberal Democrats, a political party in the United Kingdom, which state the conventions that the leader of the party should follow if they choose to enter into a national political coalition with another party.After the general election in the UK in 1992, when the Liberal Democrats, then led by Paddy Ashdown, lost two seats in the UK Parliament, Ashdown became a notable proponent of co-operation between the Liberal Democrats and "New Labour".
