History
1920-1930 : Beginnings
The Liberal Party of Cachette de Lions formed from a merger of the respective Liberal parties of Brookesland and Lyondeterre. Initially, it was a fairly small party, winning around 20 seats in its first two elections. In the 1930 election, however, following the decline in fortune of the Conservatives, the Liberals managed to increase their seats to nearly 60, becoming a strong third force in government and being invited to join in coalition with the Social Democrats' first government.
1930-1938 : Split
This first coalition proved disastrous for the Liberals. It split the party into two wings, those who supported the coalition (the party's left wing) and those against it (the right wing). The two wings then split off from the main party temporarily, the left wing forming the New Liberal Party, the right forming the Classical Liberal Party (which still exists today). The party was left with few members, but they, along with the New Liberals, formed a coalition with the Social Democrats to form the first non-Conservative government. The split proved to be a blessing in disguise: Classical Liberals won Conservative seats more easily, New Liberals won Social Democrat seats. Thus, by the time the parties reunified in 1938, the party had three times the number of seats it did in 1930.
