Liberal Party of Boyah

The Liberal Party of Boyah, also known by its abbreviation LPB is a liberal political party in the United Nations of Boyanus. It was founded by Dorik Davidson in 1935 after the 1934 elections which resulted in a absolute victory for Patriot Front because of the law banning all other political parties, which was repealed in 1935. The party operates in the Boyah Republic and is allied with the Donutland Liberal Alliance.
The party began to field candidates in the 1936 elections, where the party lost the presidential election but gained 3 seats in the Senate and 59 seats in the House of Representatives. The widespread and well known electoral fraud led to a loss for the LPB in every election until 1968 when a LPB candidate won the presidential by only 2 electoral votes. Dorik Davidson Jr would become president and pass multiple laws regarding the election system and developed a fair system for the next era of the nation. The LPB's main opponent, Patriot Front was not allowed to contend in the 1972 election which led to a LPB landslide in every branch of government. The LPB would lose the Senate in 1976 and barely maintain a majority in the House of Representatives. The party would lose all branches in 1980 to Patriot Front, becoming the opposition again. The LPB would begin to lose votes to the ever more popular Socialist Boyah Party which was taking away most trade unionists from the LPB along with other minority groups which were key to winning for the LPB. The LPB would be barred from joining a coalition in 1988 and would slowly lose political power over the next decade. The party stands at a weak position with not a single seat in the Senate and only 5 seats in the House of Representatives.
The party was founded to try and counter the Patriot Front monopoly on the Boyah Republic. It was originally just anti-corruption and classical liberal until the 1950s when the party became more liberal overall. The party shifted more moderate in the 1980s while competing with the SBP for left-wing voters and competing with the Patriot Front for right-wing voters. The LPB advocates for independence with cooperation when it comes to the Council of the Map and friendly relations with Frodonia.
The party is part of the Liberal Coalition of Boyanus which consists of the LPB and Donutland Liberal Alliance. It has a presence in every region but has very little support in each. It is most popular in the north.
