1The exact date Virginia Halley founded the Liberal Democratic Party is uncertain, this is the date it first contested a general election.

The Liberal Democratic Party of North Ahjeezistan, better known as the Liberal Democrats and sometimes as the Lib Dems, is a major political party in North Ahjeezistan. It was founded by Virginia Halley on an unknown date, and contested the first North Ahjeezistan general election.

History

It only won one seat in the first election, Halley's, in Southwest North Ahjeezistan. They gained one seat in the 3rd general election, but lost all their seats in the Social Democratic landslide of the 4th general election. Halley defeated her 4th general election challenger in the 5th general election to win back her seat, but no other Liberal Democrat won a seat in the House of Commons (now the House of Represenatatives). In the 5th Parliament, Halley officially supported Lord McAlpin's Opposition to the Social Democrats under Lord Morrissey. When Lord McAlpin defeated Lord Morrissey in the 6th general election, Viringia Halley became Minister of Public Transportation, a post she retained even after the following general election, won by the Social Democrats. In the 6th general election, two other Liberal Democrats were elected. The 7th general election saw Lord McAlpin defeated by a returning Lord Morrissey, forcing the Liberal Democrats out of government, but also saw eight new Liberal Democrats elected. The party moved from a minor party to a more major one.

Throughout the rest of Lord Morrissey's premiership, two general elections on 8 May 1961 and 13 November the Liberal Democrats gained two seats, one in each. The party gained ground continuously. At the 10th general election, Halley was replaced as leader by Lord Rintiàr, who was at the next general election replaced by Lord Braunglen, who alinged the Liberal Democrats with the Liberal Conservative Opposition. As the result of a series of by-elections, the Liberal Democrats gained seven more seats and Lord Hartley's Social Democrats lost their majority. Several Liberal Democrats served as ministers in Lord Terresond's government. They left this government to serve in the Social Democratic opposition of Lady Senator Simpson, which was elected in the following general election. This was the state of affairs until the 16th general election.

The Liberal Democrats left Lady Senator Simpson's governemnt following a leftward shift in the Social Democratic Party. They replaced the remnants of the Liberal Conservative Party, the fiscally conservative Moderate Party of North Ahjeezistan and the socially conservative Popular Democratic Party of North Ahjeezistan as Official Opposition, and gained seats in the 17th general election, but not only lost a majority of their seats but their status as Official Opposition in the 18th general election, repalced by the Popular Democrats. The task of rebuilding the party fell to Lord Madingley.

Under his leadership, the Liberal Democrats regained all their seats plus in the 19th general election, and won the 20th general election with their first majority. He served another term and was replaced by Lord Arlen, who was defeated by Lord Tom Allen. The Liberal Democrats remained Official Opposition throughout Lord Tom Allen's term, until they were replaced by the Social Democrats themselves. After Lady Averley (North Ahjeezistani politician)'s short government, the Liberal Democrats went from Secondary Opposition to government in a landslide victory under Lord Arlonway. He served four terms until defeat in the most recent 31st general elction, when he was replaced by Chancellor of the Ginebaré Lord Hanning. The party is current Official Opposition, with ninety-six seats of the two hundred-and-eighteen member body.

Its official song is Life Ev'ry Voice and Sing, an American civil rights song. It was adopted officially in 1995, but was sung at party conferences since 1943.
