From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Liberal Party is the name of dozens of political parties around the world. It usually designates a party that is ideologically liberal, meaning that they advocate individual rights and civil liberties, and sometimes left wing, meaning that they are egalitarian and believe in the redistribution of wealth from rich to poor. However, there are also some Liberal Parties which subscribe to classical liberalism and therefore support a mostly unregulated free market.
