The Baptistois Liberal Party (Principean: Parti libéral baptistois, PLB) is a centrist political party in Saint-Baptiste. The successor of the National Republican People's Party, the PLB is one of two main parties in Saint-Baptiste, alongside the Saint-Baptiste Reform Party. At present, the party forms the government, holding a majority of eight seats in the Chamber of Deputies. The party traditionally takes a more conservative approach to policy, although it is considered the more economically liberal of the two main parties, and attempts to ascribe to a catch-all and non-ideological position.
