Liberal Democrats

The Liberal Democrats (abbreviated as LDP, commonly known as the Lib Dems, Zìmíndǎng in Chinese, Jimintō in Japanese) are a minor centrist political party in Craftia.

The Liberal Democrats were formed in 2024 (as the Liberal Democratic Party), as a result of a merger between the New Liberal Party (formed in 2015) and ex-members of the Craftian Democrats (formed in 1986). The party often gains the balance of power in federal elections due to its centrist position on the political spectrum. The Liberal Democrats' unusual electoral strategies have enabled it to become a strong force in the Senate, often winning the fourth- or fifth-highest amount of seats at each election, while it usually does not win any seats in the lower house.

Currently, the Liberal Democrats have three Senators as well as parliamentary representation in four states and the Bankera Capital Territory.

The party's current leader has been Americana Shinn since 2068.
