The government is divided by two arguing parties where their members are forced to choose straight liberal or conservative because those are the two ways of living and belief. The two parties are made to choose between the two so that their beliefs and principles are made known by the government and public. This makes choosing the proper people to put into the government system easier for the people based off of the people's needs.
The Conservative Party didn't gain overall majority at the last election. So a coalition was formed with the Liberal Democrats. This means that while the Conservatives are in effective power, the Liberals must be considered and their influence taken into consideration in Conservative policy.

There are three main political parties in the United Kingdom: the Conservative party, the Labour party and the Liberal Democrat party. There are other minor parties, such as the Green Party, UKIP and BNP. Members of Parliament may also stand as independent members, which have no political allegiance. There are other region-specific political parties, such as the SNP, Sinn Féin, and Plaid Cymru.
The whole "Conservative vs Liberal" concept can be interpreted whatever way you like, but in general, "conservative" has historically been assigned to people, political parties and actions that are in their very nature resistant political, social or moral change. On the other hand, the term "Liberal" has been used to describe people, political parties and actions that embrace change. More recently, Liberal vs Conservative has morphed to describe socialist/communist vs capitalist/free market ideologies. Generally, the conservatives will argue that a free market economy will provide more opportunity for growth and allows anyone to succeed or fail, based on their own ability and motivation. Generally Liberals will argue that the masses are unable to adequately provide for themselves and must have the aid of the government to provide for their medical, shelter and food. Of course, dedicated Liberals would want to force everyone into the same system. King George and all of England were trying to maintain the existing system when the Patriots of the New World decided that they wanted to change their political system. The fact that they wanted to bring about change means that by one definition, they were Liberal. On the other hand, the fact that they were trying to conquer the new world with the aid of the Crown was an example of moral or social change, which would have been considered more Liberal, and the CROWN would have been considered the Liberal political movement. Which side was more Liberal and which was more conservative? You get to make that determination depending on your side of the argument.
