Liberal People's Party (from 2001 Liberals; Finnish: Liberaalinen kansanpuolue) was a conservative-liberal[1] political party in Finland, founded in 1965 as a reunification of the People's Party of Finland and Liberal League.
Originally named Liberal People's Party (Finnish: Liberaalinen Kansanpuolue), it restyled its name as Liberals (Liberaalit) in 2000.
Liberals was removed from the party registry in 2007 after the failure to gain a seat in two consecutive parliamentary elections. In 2011, the party dissolved itself as a political party. It continues its basic ideological policy as an independent think tank.
