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 ideas, believing in a strong free social market economy where the government intervenes to provide a strong welfare state for those in need, along with combating anti-competitive practises to ensure a fair and competitive strong free market economy. Additionally, the Liberal Party holds strong social progressive ideals, having a hard stance on social issues such as women's rights, LGBT+ rights and abortion.

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.
