==History==
===1975-1995: Foundation and Sánchez presidency===
The Liberal Party is the successor of the first Liberal Party in Dania that existed from 1890 to 1960, and was created during the Dalanic Revolution by mostly former members of the old Liberal Party. During this period, it was led by Rufino Virgen. Due to a poor result in the 1975 general election, Virgen was replaced by Tobías Sánchez. Sánchez won the presidency in 1979. Under his leadership, the liberals were able to gain a large following among young Dalanics due to their progressive policies.
The Liberal Party made significant strides during their time in power, including the implementation of economic reforms that helped spur growth and investment. They also passed several key pieces of legislation such as a new labor code which improved working conditions for Dalanics, expanded access to education, and strengthened environmental protection laws. Furthermore, they supported public health initiatives such as providing universal healthcare coverage and expanding access to medical services throughout Dania. 
=== 1995-2005: Opposition===
Despite the successes of the Sánchez government, their popularity began to decline after 1991 when they lost the election under Enrique Torralba but did enter into a coalition government with the Conservative Party. This alliance proved unpopular amongst many liberal supporters who viewed it as a betrayal of their core values. As a result, they were unable sustain their strong electoral performance going forward and went into opposition between 1995-2005.
===2005-present: In the government and Amieros presidency===

The Liberal Party is socially liberal. it introduced several liberal reforms such as; the legalisation of same-sex marriage and allowing legal access to abortions.
