The Social Liberal Party and Democratic Party were two of the first 10 parties to exist. They decided to merge, and that's how Liberal Democrats were founded. In the first elections held on the 6th of July, the party received 9 seats out of 80. They formed a government with Libertarian Party, Christian Union, Conservatives and Monarchist Party. Due to this coalition with the right, a group of left leaning members split to form the Third Way Party. However, before the second election they left the coalition because of differences which divided them and formed Democratic Union with Social Democratic Party and Greens. In the 2nd election held on the 21st of July, they received 13 seats out of 100 and remained in opposition. Apart from SDP and Greens, they have good relationship with Science Party and Third Way.
The LDP dissolved in 2020 due to it having lost significance in the political landscape of Adoria.
