The '''Liberal Party''' (Oanthanian: ''Frjølsflokk'', Distani: ''Ńtsídadiiké yaa Bízhą́'') is a federal political party in [[Charville]] which sits on the centre to center-left of the political spectrum. The party follows the principles of liberalism, encompassing a broad spectrum of supporters, with factions in the party including social liberals, classical liberals, centrists, and progressivists. As such, the party is often described as "big tent". Since the late 1960s, the party has been part of the "Big Four" dominating parties in Charvillean politics. In its 61 years of existance, there have been three Liberal presidents (with a combined term length of 36 years) and [x] prime ministers, leading a total of [x] governments. The party is the largest in Charville by number of registered members.
The '''Liberal Party''' (Oanthanian Våknet: ''Frjølsflokken'', Oanthanian Verth: ''Frjálsflokkinn'', Distani: ''Ńtsídadiiké yaa Bízhą́'') is a federal political party in [[Charville]] which sits on the centre to center-left of the political spectrum. The party follows the principles of liberalism, encompassing a broad spectrum of supporters with generally social-liberal sympathies, but classical liberal, libertarian, and centrist factions also exist. As such, the party is often described as big tent. The party supports a mixed capitalist economy, social equality, and protection of civil liberties; it advocates for healthcare reform, abortion rights, legalisation of cannabis, looser immigration laws, and LGBT rights. The party maintains an internationalist stance on foreign policy; it initiated Charville's entry into the United Federation of Telrova (UFT) and International Task Force (ITF) in 2022, and the adoption of the Rova the following year.  


The party was founded in 1964 as a merger of the two most prominent Charvillean liberal parties of that time, the Liberals and Populars, and the Free Democratic Party. It presented itself as an alternative to the Socialist Labour Party (where many early Liberal Party members defected from)
The party was founded in 1964 as a merger of the two largest Charvillean liberal parties of that time, the Liberals and Populars, and the Free Democratic Party. The defection of several prominent Socialist Labour members magnified the Liberal Party's popularity, and successes in the 1966 presidential and parliamentary elections reinforced its new status as the major centre-left party in the country. Alongside the Conservative Party and The Centre, the Liberal Party is one of the dominating political parties of contemporary Charville, in government for 31 out of the 61 years of the party's existence. There have been three Liberal presidents, all of which have served two terms in office.
 
The Liberal Party performs best electorally in urban areas, particularly in the regions of Distan, Malidae and South Oanthan, among ethnic and sexual minorities, and voters with a postgraduate degree. Since the 2000s, the party has gained support among more affluent voters while it has lost support among the working class. The leader of the party is Tomas Banke. It is currently sits in opposition at the federal level as the second largest party in the Forsemling and the Rådmennget, but leads the governments of five Charvillean provinces. It is the largest political party in Charville by number of members.
== History ==
A merger between the two mainstream liberal parties of pre-DCW Charville, the [[wikipedia:Centre-right politics|centre-right]] [[Liberals and Populars]] (FAV), and the [[wikipedia:Centre-left politics|centre-left]] [[Free Democrats 45]] (GL45), had been proposed multiple times throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, but opposing views on [fill]. However, the dramatic decline in popularity of the [[Socialist Labour Party (Charville|Socialist Labour Party]] (SAF) after the [name] Crisis of 1963 saw a large swing in opinion polling among SAF moderates to alternative centre-left to centre parties, with many influential members in the FAV and the GL45 suggesting a liberal merger could win a considerable share of the vote from both the middle class and dissatisfied SAF moderates.

History

A merger between the two mainstream liberal parties of pre-DCW Charville, the centre-right Liberals and Populars (FAV), and the centre-left Free Democrats 45 (GL45), had been proposed multiple times throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, but opposing views on [fill]. However, the dramatic decline in popularity of the Socialist Labour Party (SAF) after the [name] Crisis of 1963 saw a large swing in opinion polling among SAF moderates to alternative centre-left to centre parties, with many influential members in the FAV and the GL45 suggesting a liberal merger could win a considerable share of the vote from both the middle class and dissatisfied SAF moderates.
