Political party in Gibraltar
The Liberal Party of Gibraltar (Libs or LPG ) is a liberal [1] [2] political party in Gibraltar . It was founded in 1991[3] Gibraltar National Party [3] Joseph Garcia . The LPG forms the GSLP–Liberal Alliance in partnership with the Gibraltar Socialist Labour Party .
In line with most liberal parties, the party describes their political philosophy as being based on notions of people deciding their own future, and are committed to Gibraltarian self-determination regarding constitutional arrangements.[4]
The party believes in "freedom, responsibility, tolerance, social justice and equality of opportunity: these are the central values of liberalism, and they remain the principles on which an open society must be built. These principles require a careful balance of strong civil societies, democratic government, free markets, and international cooperation".[5]
The party makes its stance on economic policy very clear, stating that "open societies need open markets. A liberal, open and tolerant society requires a market economy. Political freedom and economic freedom belong together".[6]
