The Liberal Party of Tojima (LPT, Japanese: 東島自由党, Hepburn: Tōjima Jiyūtō, commonly known as the Tojima Liberals) is the branch of the Liberal Party of Enderron operating in Tojima Prefecture. The party is the one of the three major political parties in Tojiman politics, the others being the Tojima Social Democratic Party and Tojima First. The current party leader is Serena Ryu, since 2018.
The Tojima Liberals are generally pro-federalism, supporting Tojima's current position in the Enderronian federation, and is against further Tojiman autonomy, although moderate and pro-autonomy factions also exist within the party. The party is strongest in central Tojima and the western suburban outskirts of Shirakawa.
The Liberal Party is considered to be relatively weak in Tojiman politics, as it has failed to control the Tojima Prefectural Assembly and has remained in opposition since its founding in 2000. In fact, the last time a right-of-centre party won a majority in Tojima was in 1994. Additionally, the Liberals have only won the office of governor once, in 2006. The Liberals are most popular in Tojima among English-speaking and White Enderronians.
