Libertarian Party of Jonathia

The Libertarian Party of Jonathia (LPJ) was a right-wing libertarian and classical liberal political party in Jonathia. Founded in 1976 by Hendrix Lee, it was formed as a splinter of the Republican Party. It initially had major success in the 1977 election, joining the JFP-led government. It remained in this position throughout the tenure of prime minister Mark Harvall. The party continued to have a presence until 1981.
After 1981, the party fell into insignificance, only holding a few seats on the provincial and local levels. In 1999, amidst internal conflicts, the party dissolved. A few of it's former members later went on to form the New Libertarian Party. However, while the NLP does follow the LPJ's original policy lines, it is not the LPJ's legal successor. Lee later went on to form the Freedom Party, who contested the 2005 election.
