The Liberal Party is a liberal and pro-Rushmori political party in Darmen.

The party was formed in January, 2045 following a split in the preceding Movement for a New Darmen which saw the pro-Common Rushmori Community faction of the MND leave to join the National Civil Liberal Democratic Union and form the Liberal Party. The remaining faction of the MND, those who were hesitant about Darmeni membership in the Common Rushmori Community, formed the basis of the Republican Party. The party was initially led by Joshua Rademacher, but he was replaced by Corwin Hull in the party's 2056 leadership election.

History
