The Liberal Party of Enderron (LPE, commonly known as the Liberals) is a centre-right, liberal-conservative political party in Enderron. The party is one of the two major political parties in Enderronian politics, the other being the Social Democratic Party of Enderron. The current party leader is Macey Novakova, who has been Leader of the Opposition since 2019.
The Liberal Party was formed in 2000 by a merger of the centre-right Conservative Party and centrist Liberal Democrats. It last formed the federal Enderronian government between 2002 and 2014. It currently serves as the Official Opposition in the Enderronian Parliament.
The party tends to lean towards moderate conservative liberalism rather than the avowed social conservatism of its predecessors, and instead generally promotes economic liberalism and free-market capitalist economic policies. It supports an open market economy with minimal government intervention and lower taxation as stimulus for private enterprise. The Liberal Party is often described as neoliberal, with policies in favour of free trade, economic deregulation and reduction in government spending. In terms of foreign policy, it is considered to be more pro-Western, being in favour of increased relations with the United States and European Union. As an amalgamation of conservative and liberal traditions, it has been described as a "broad church" encompassing a wide range of ideologies on the centre-right of the political spectrum.
Since the 2010s the party has been dominated by its more socially centrist wing. Notable legislation and policies enacted by the Liberal government of 2002–2014 include industrial relations reform, visa and citizenship reform, a reduction in immigration, more stringent gun control, the privatisation of Enderron Airways and several other government-owned corporations, the legalisation of same-sex marriage and medicinal cannabis, and the introduction of a goods and services tax (GST). The party's support base mainly consists of White and Chinese Enderronians, high-income families, the upper and upper-middle class, business owners, rural workers, non-unionised blue-collar workers and tradespeople, those affiliated with a religion and older voters. The Liberal brand is particularly strong in southern and western Enderron.
The Liberals have been in opposition at the federal level since the 2014 election. The party currently controls five prefectural legislatures and seven gubernatorial offices. Four prefectures (Avalon, Greenberg, Janszoon and Lawrencia) currently have both a Liberal governor and premier.
The Liberal Party is a member of both Liberal International and the International Democrat Union.
