Liveable Alsland (Dellish: Leefber Aalslân, Kirenian: Elamiskõlbulik Aalsmaa, LA) is a liberal Alslandic political party. The party sits between the centrist and centre-right wings of the Folkssenaat, the party also has ties to social liberal and localist organisations.
The party was founded in 2005 originally as Liveable Yndyk for the 2005 Yndyk regional election. The party came first in the election and it's founder, Liekele Ykema subsequently became Minister-President of the Yndyk region. The party achieved an electoral breakthrough in 2010 when it became the second largest party in the Folkssenaat and formed the first liberal-led government in Alsland led by Ykema. The party gained seats in 2014 when it increased it's number of seats. Ykema's government fell in 2018 and the party joined the opposition faction in the Folkssenaat. The party recovered in the 2022 Alslandic legislative election where it won 41 seats and emerged as the largest party in the Folkssenaat for the first time.
Liekele Ykema resigned as chairperson of the party in 2022 and was succeeded by Mayor of Werdau Torben Ratzenberger. Since taking on the role of Chairperson Ratzenberger has endorsed a coalition agreement with the right-wing Orange Party in an attempt to bring the party to the political centre, in doing so the party has changed it's stance on immigration and supports a common Euclean-wide immigration policy. The party is a member of the Euclean Liberal Party and is the senior partner of the Liveable Alsland-Together cooperation agreement since 2022.
