The thing is (in both the UK and the US)... The centre ground of both has far more in common than either does with their fringes. If you were to completely scrap all of the parties and start over, in both the US and UK, you'd have a 3 party system... one very large, very centre party and then smaller parties to the left and right of it.
But both countries are heavily rooted in the traditional party structure that has roots in a very different world.
