The Liberal Party is a centrist political party in Albeinland. Today, the party is neither part of the government coalization nor the official opposition due political divergences, sitting crossbench both in the House of Commons and in the House of Lords. The Liberal Party is the third-largest party in the parliament and also has the third-highest number of councillors in local authorities, despite suffered numerous political and internal losses since 2003.

Historically, the Liberal Party has its origins in the Oxford Party, a radical-liberal party founded in the second half of the 17th century, which had gained prominence in the political and parliamentary scene of Albeinland, rivaling throughout with the conservative Cavalier Party. With the Cavaliers being extinguished in 1829 to give way to the Conservative Party, the liberal moderate wing of the party also made the same a month later, creating the Liberal Party. The party vied with the conservatives during the 19th and 20th century and with the social democrats since 1920. Soon after the liberal governments between 1986 and 2003, the liberals suffered several defeats mainly in the 2000s and 2010s, recovering again in the 2018 elections.

Since its creation, the party has followed a liberal line both economically and socially, but over time it has adopted and begun to endorse keynesianist policies. Today, the party advocates for LGBT guidelines and supports economic measures for the protection of small businesses.
