Liberal Party of Australia (2020–)

The Liberal Party of Australia is a centre-right political party in Australia. Its leader is 12MaxWild, its deputy leader is soon being elected after 12MaxWild's ascension to the position of leader, and the party's president is also being elected after Riley8583's resignation.

Formed after a merger of AussieConservative's United Australia Party and the remaining members of the Liberal National Party (LNP), it served one term as Official Opposition of a Social Democratic Government, before getting a blue wave in the House and claiming the seat to the Prime Minister's throne. Just before being renamed to the Liberal Democratic Party of Australia, it was a crossbench party with 1 seat in the House of Representatives and the Senate.

History
In 21 August 2020, EdenhopeStan registered an application to the Australian Electoral Commission for the merger of the United Australian Party and the Liberal National Party, with a constitution stating that Griffonomics is to be the leader of the new Liberal Party of Australia. The request was approved 27 August 2020.

In 9 December 2020, Deputy Leader stranger195 was ascended to interim Leader after the defection of Party Leader Griffonomics to the newly-founded National Party of Australia. That same night, the Federal Executive Council unanimously appointed TheAudibleAsh as interim Deputy Leader and GenericCerealHere as interim Party President.

In 14 December 2020, interim Party President GenericCerealHere announced the results of the election for Party Leader, with interim Deputy Leader TheAudibleAsh receiving 53.8% of the vote and failed candidate 12MaxWild receiving 46.1%. 12MaxWild supporter buttsforpm claimed that the numbers were "ridiculous and highly flawed", but President GenericCerealHere called the accusations "baseless and meaningless." While the leadership results are still disputed, TheAudibleAsh assumed the position of leader. After many members left to join Griffonomics's National Party, the party languished in inactivity and the polls. After the National Party supplanted its position as the primary right-wing party and Griffonomics spontaneously combusted in May, on the 30th of June the Liberal Party merged with the National Party, retaining the same name but with many Liberal Party members leaving parliament the leadership of the Nationals assumed the leadership.

On the 2nd of September, 2021, Deputy Leader 12MaxWild was elected Leader of the Liberal Party in a leadership competition against Riley8583, succeeding Russian Hacker as leader. 7 people voted for 12MaxWild and 6 people voted for Riley8583.
