The Liberal Socialist Party (Russian: Либерал-Социалистическая Партия) is the third most important political party in Taraskovyan politics and is the leading left-wing party in the otherwise rather right and centre-right Taraskovyan political landscape. The Liberal Socialist Party is at the head of the opposition Left Wing Coalition in the Taraskovyan Parliament.

Description

The Liberal Socialist Party appeared as a contrast to hardcore left-wing parties in the early days of the second Grand Duchy, at the same time as other present-day parties were officially formed. It is led by the charismatic Dragica Liubenova who is only in her early thirties. Despite her rather young age, the woman has managed to charm a share of Taraskovyan voters and even the LSP opponents recognize her as a woman of worth.

Historically, the party surprisingly gained a seat at the Grand Ducal Senate, to which only members of nobility can be elected, when its aristocratic candidate Alexei Vologdov won the race for one of the two seats in the Yugozemie Fiefdom. Senator Vologdov, however, did not expected to run in the next race, preferring instead to retire from politics and possibly move to Knootoss where resides his wife, Femke Vologdova.
