The Liberal Party of Sel Appa (French: Parti libéral du Sel Appa) is one of the major political parties in Sel Appa. It was founded in 2005 by former Earl, Juvanya dar Krisip. It started a generic progressive liberal party, and managed to earn 2nd place and 68 of 351 seats in the 2005 election, behind the Communist Party. Before long, the party collapsed in the polls as the Communists, Socialists, and to some extent Greens, took more support from left-leaning voters.
In 2010, François Tourmont, a libertarian from the French region, won the Liberal Party leadership election over Reginald Patrick of the Anvorbuod wing. Tourmont reformed the party along free market lines and saw a surge in the polls, as Sel Appans looked to alternatives to leftist dominance. He led the party to gains in the snap 2010 election to write a new constitution, and then won the 2011 election outright.
The Liberal Party subsequently went on to win the 2015 and 2020 elections, before faltering in their third term in power after a number of scandals and controversies. They lost the 2025 election to the Democratic Socialists United, led by Kristina Leno.
History
Ideology
The party has had several factions over the years. It started out as a progressive left party, and retains some elements of this. However, the leadership of Tourmont moved it in a more classic liberal direction. This brought in the Anvorbuod faction, which is vehemently libertarian. Over time, conservatives joined the party until the Reconstitution Party broke away in 2024, after disputes over the Russian secession, abolition of monarchy, and social liberalization.
Abortion
The party has no position, and representatives are permitted to vote their conscience. Most are anti-abortion, but a growing number over the years have supported decriminalization.
Animal Rights
The party has no position, and representatives are permitted to vote their conscience. Most are supportive of animal rights, with a minority taking a humans-only or human-primary approach.
Death Penalty
The party has no position, and representatives are permitted to vote their conscience. There is a fairly even split between support and opposition.
Drugs
The party did not prioritize this policy, but later came to support decriminalization of most drugs.
Economics
The party supports a free-market economy, with a small welfare state. The Anvorbuod faction tends to be more radically free market, while the rest take a balanced approach.
Education
Tourmont oversaw cuts in education funding and expansion of school choice. The party maintains choice as a priority, but continues to support state education funding.

Leadership
The Liberal Party was founded by reformist and forward-thinking Earl Juvanya dar Krisip, who survived the Communist Revolution of 2005. However, the party soon found itself marginalized by the Communist-Socialist coalition government. Sel Appa effectively had four left-wing parties competing. A representative from the French region, François Tourmont, made a bid for leadership in 2010 and won. He pledged to move the party in a more libertarian and classic liberal direction to distinguish it more. His bet paid off, as the Liberal Party gained in the 2010 and 2011 election, the latter of which they won.
Tourmont remained a strong and unifying force in the party for years. He implemented numerous market reforms in Sel Appa, before strengthening the welfare system somewhat. After the 2020 election, he fended off attempts to depose him. When dozens of representatives voted against him in a no confidence motion, he expelled them from the party, which weakened his coalition government, but maintained his position. However, after losing the 2025 election to DSU, calls increased for his resignation from leadership, and he finally stepped aside in 2028.
The 2028 leadership election saw Anvorbuodan radical _ _ face off against Tourmont protege, _ _.
