The Liberal Party, officially known as the Liberal and Social Progressive Party, is a centrist to centre-right political party in Gassasinia which has held power for much of Gassasinia's history since 1979. As of today, the Gassasinian Liberal Party is currently the largest party in government, ruling in a coalition with the Unionist Labour Party with 55 Members of Parliament in the House of Representatives.
The Liberal Party was formed in 1951 as a small splinter group of the now defunct Christian Democratic Party's left-wing by 12 Members of Parliament, who felt that the Christian Democratic Party's conservative and Christian-centric ideology was elitist and unsustainable, and that they would eventually tear Gassasinia apart between religious and economic lines.
The Liberal Party's policies are based on liberal ideas, believing in a strong free social market economy where the government intervenes to provide a welfare state to keep people out of destitution, along with combating anti-competitive practises to ensure a fair and competitive strong free market economy. Additionally, the Liberal Party holds strong social progressive ideals, having a progressive stance on social issues such as women's rights, LGBT+ rights and abortion.
The Liberal Party supports a civic nationalist stance by which Gassasinia is a unique sovereign nation made up of many different ethnicities and religions. Furthermore, the Liberal Party supports a pro-globalisation economic stance which supports greater participation in global trade while promoting a more careful and modest approach to international geopolitics and grand international alliances.
The Liberal Party is often considered by some as a dominant party by it's critics, who claim that the Liberal Party uses unfair tactics which give them an unfair ability to skew the democratic process. Amongst these tactics include media manipulation, marginalisation of opposition parties, entrenchment of the party's ideology into the educational system, and even frivolous lawsuits, amongst others. However, observers have often noted that despite these accusations, Gassasinia is significantly lacking in many of the directly repressive qualities often found amongst authoritarian dominant-party states.
