The Liberal Party was a political party of Mariana, active from the 1880s until the early 1970s. The LP was a mainstay of Marianan politics, heading 11 governments on its own prior to World War II, and heading or forming part of four governments in the postwar period.
The Liberals were one of two major parties in pre-WWII Mariana alongside the White Party, with a broad center-leftist platform and policy opposite to the Whites' center-right Christian views. Following Alexander Bouras' term as Prime Minister from 1949 to 1957, the Liberals would never head a government. By the late 1960s, it was sidelined in the left by the Social Democrats, and while a part of the second and third Warson governments until 1973, made a slow shift to the right until dissolving in 1977 to be replaced by the more right-wing Free Liberal Party.
