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 largest Charvillean liberal parties of that time, the Liberals and Populars, and the Free Democratic Party. The defection of several prominent Socialist Labour members to the Liberal Party soared its popularity, and successes in the 1966 presidential and parliamentary elections solidified its status as the major center-left party in Charville.
