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 Social Party's left-wing by 12 Members of Parliament, who felt that the Christian Social 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 and social progressive, holding strong ideals of social justice within a free market economy by combining a welfare state with a market economy within a social market economy by which the government intervenes to ensure a competitive and fair market economy. Furthermore, many consider the Liberal Party to be a centre to centre-right wing party economically, with strong left-wing social stances, with many noting that the Liberal Party has often held stronger progressive views on topics such as abortion, women's rights and LGBT+ rights than their left-wing counterparts. Furthermore, the Liberal Party supports a civic nationalist stance as opposed to an Arab Nationalist stance, arguing that Gassasinia is a distinct nation of many ethnicities, rather than being part of a single Arab nation.
