Introduction

One can argue what a liberal party is. In the list below, a liberal party is defined as a political party that adheres to the basic principles of political liberalism. Liberalism is a broad array of related ideas and theories of Government that consider individual Liberty to be the most important political goal A political party is a Political organization that seeks to attain and maintain political power within Government, usually by participating in electoral Liberalism is a broad array of related ideas and theories of Government that consider individual Liberty to be the most important political goal This is a broad political current, that includes both right of center (or free market) liberals and left of center liberals. In Politics, right-wing, the political right, and the Right are positions that uphold traditional values and/or authorities A free market is a Market in which property rights are voluntarily exchanged at a price arranged completely by the mutual consent of sellers and buyers All liberal parties emphasize individual rights, but they differ in their opinion on an active role for the state. Individual rights refer to the Rights of Individuals in contrast with Group rights.

After liberals have gained power and realized their first reforms, one often sees a divergence within their ranks:

• Some are satisfied and rest apart with these reforms, developing into liberal conservatives or simply becoming conservatives, mostly still adhering to free market policies. For other uses see Reform (disambiguation Reform means beneficial change or sometimes more specifically reversion to a pure original Liberal conservatism is a variant of Conservatism which combines conservative and liberal values and positions An example is the Liberal Democratic Party (Japan). The, frequently abbreviated to LDP or, is a Centre right, conservative, Political party and the largest party in Japan. These parties are not included in the overview.
• The mainstream of liberalism continues on the path of gradual reforms, embraces electoral democracy as a basic liberal position and organizes itself in the form of the traditional liberal parties. Democracy is a form of government in which the supreme power is held completely by the people under a free electoral system These parties are included in the overview.
  • Part of this mainstream is more right-wing, emphasizing classical liberal issues and concentrating on economic liberalism. Classical liberalism (also known as traditional liberalism, Laissez-faire liberalism, Market liberalism or in much of the world Economic liberalism is the Economic component of Classical liberalism. This is, for example, the origin of libertarianism. Libertarianism is a term used by a broad spectrum of political philosophies which prioritize individual Liberty and seek to minimize or even abolish the Many people consider this a separate political theory/current. Others argue that these parties are still liberal parties. Therefore they are included in the overview.
  • Another part of the mainstream is more left-wing. It embraces and emphasizes democratic reforms and often strives for social reforms. These parties sometimes prefer to name themselves radical or progressive liberal and are generally quite positive about the role of the state in the economy, by advocating Keynesianism for example, while continuing to support a market economy. Political radicalism or simply radicalism is adherence to radical views and principles in Politics. In Economics Keynesian economics (ˈkeɪnziən also Keynesianism and Keynesian Theory) is based on the ideas of twentieth-century British economist A market economy is a realized Social system based on the Division of labour in which the prices of Goods and Services are determined in a United States liberalism developed out of this tradition. Liberalism in the United States is a broad political and philosophical mindset favoring individual Liberty, and opposing restrictions on liberty whether they come from Progressive liberals tend to use labels such as Radical, Progressive, Free-minded or simply Democratic instead of Liberal. Political radicalism or simply radicalism is adherence to radical views and principles in Politics. Progressivism is a term that refers to a broad school of international social and political philosophies. Democracy is a form of government in which the supreme power is held completely by the people under a free electoral system These parties are included in the overview.
    • For some liberals this doesn’t go far enough: they joined social democratic parties. Social democracy is a Political ideology of the left and centre-left They are not included in the list.
• Next to these development one sees the rise of new centrist or pragmatic parties that share liberal values and develop into liberal or similar parties. In Politics, centrism usually refers to the political ideal of promoting Moderate policies which land in the middle ground between different political extremes Pragmatism generally considered to have originated in the late nineteenth century with Charles Peirce, who first stated the Pragmatic maxim. These parties are included in the overview too.
• Finally one sees liberals joining parties with a broader political range. This happens especially in countries where the electoral system favors a two-party system. A voting system allows voters to choose between options often in an Election where candidates are selected for public office. A two-party system is a form of Party system where two major Political parties dominate voting in nearly all Elections at every

Europe

In general, liberalism in Europe is a political movement that supports a broad tradition of individual liberties and constitutionally-limited and democratically accountable government. This usually encompasses the belief that government should act to alleviate poverty and other social problems, but not through radical changes to the structure of society. European liberals are divided on the degree of government intervention in economy, but generally they favor limited intervention.

In Northern European countries, it refers to somebody who emphasizes individual liberty in economical, social, cultural and ethical topics and a free market policy with some degree of government intervention. It generally does not have the particular connotations of radicalism that the word carries in the United States, though it does not exclude them either.

In France and in Southern Europe, the word is used either to refer to the traditional liberal anti-clericalism or to economic liberalism. Anti-clericalism is a historical movement that opposes Religious (generally Catholic institutional power and influence real or alleged in all aspects of public and political Economic liberalism is the Economic component of Classical liberalism. However, in recent years in France, the word is being increasingly used by proponents of laissez-faire capitalism and minarchists to describe themselves; in reaction, ultra-libéral is a pejorative term aimed by a large section of the French left-wing against those whom they regard as having extreme capitalist views. Laissez-faire ( pronunciation: French,; English,) is a French phrase literally meaning Let do (“allow to do” In Civics, minarchism, sometimes called minimal Statism, small government, or limited-government Libertarianism The more moderate form of political liberalism in France was long associated more with the Radical Party, leading to the use of the term radicals to refer to political liberals. The Radical Party ( Parti Radical, Rad also known as Parti radical valoisien) is a liberal and centrist political party in France The French Radicals tend to be more statist than most European liberals, but share the liberal values on other issues.

In France and in Southern Europe, the word liberal does not always include the suggestion of general support for individual rights that it carries in Northern Europe. More, in those countries liberalism is associated with the right-wing, as it is also in Germany, the Netherlands, Denmark and Switzerland, while it is more closely associated with the left-wing in the United Kingdom, which has a political history in some ways similar with that of the United States, and in some Scandinavian countries. Germany, officially the Federal Republic of Germany ( ˈbʊndəsʁepuˌbliːk ˈdɔʏtʃlant is a Country in Central Europe.

Democratic socialism is a description used by various socialist movements tendencies and organizations to emphasize the democratic character of their political orientation Social democracy is a Political ideology of the left and centre-left Conservatism is a term used to describe political philosophies that favour Tradition, where tradition refers to various religious cultural or nationally defined In many countries liberals were replaced by social-democrats or pulled towards the centre or the right-wing. Liberal ideas were absorbed by the conservatives concerning the economy and the individualist vision of men and society, especially in those countries in which liberals disappeard as an independent political force.

In general European liberals are divided between conservative liberals, social liberals and liberals combing both elements of conservative liberalism (especially on economic issues) and social liberalism (especially on moral issues). Conservative liberalism is a variant of Liberalism, combining liberal values and policies with conservative stances or more simply representing the right-wing Social liberalism, also called new liberalism (as it was originally termed high liberalism radical liberalism, modern liberalism, or In European countries, liberals tend to label themselves either as liberals, or as radicals, centrists or democrats (though some would dispute the liberal character of the Northern European centrist parties).
