The Liberal Democratic Party is a small Australian political party founded in 2001 which purports to adhere to free market principles broadly comparable to those of the United States Libertarian Party. The party claims members in four states and is registered in the Australian Capital Territory, although it is not registered federally due to its small size.
The LDP's official platform takes a laissez-faire approach to economics and has socially liberal policies on civil liberties.
At the first elections they contested, in 2001 in the ACT, the LDP ran candidates in all seats and polled 1% of the vote, for a total of around 2000 votes. In the 2004 ACT election they again ran candidates in all seats and received 1.3% of the vote. They did not run candidates in the federal elections of 2004.
