Liberal Democratic Party (Kanashima)

The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP, Japanese: 自由民主党 Jiyū-Minshutō, frequently abbreviated to 自民党 Jimintō) is a conservative political party in Kanashima. The party has dominated Kanashiman politics since the early 1960s, and has been credited as being central to the city-state's rapid political, social, and economic development. It has been in power in Kanashima almost continuously since the 1955 general election, with the only exception being the period between 2012 and 2015. From 1955 to 2009 and again from 2015 to 2018 the LDP continuously held a two-thirds supermajority in the Parliament of Kanashima.

The LDP is generally big tent, albeit with a significant conservative lean. Its main voter base is Japanese Kanashimans and the middle class. It no longer holds a well-defined or unified political ideology due to the amount of time it has spent in government, although it is usually regarded as being to the right of opposition parties throughout its history.

The Liberal Democratic Party of Kanashima notably predates the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party in founding by about 8 years. The two parties strong informal ties but are not linked organisationally.
