The Liberal Conservative Party, also known colloquially as the LibCons or the Tories or New Tories, is a centre-right political party in Wiltshire. Since September 3020, the party has been in government under the leadership of Prime Minister Sonya Inyo. During this period in government, Wiltshire fought the 3021 NCR/IDO war as a primary allied-power.
The party was formed as a breakaway from the Conservative Party following their refusal to support the election of President Gaius Selan. Audrick Hill, who was leading the Conservative Party at the time, formed the Liberal Conservatives along with the Liberal Party to fight the February elections. The Conservative Party was damaged massively by this, eventually leading to their complete collapse - to the extend of failing to get onto the ballot on the June elections. Following the June 3020 election, the Liberal Conservatives were turned to opposition in which they were successfully able to turn the government into an unpopular administration. Following multiple scandal, as well as Prime Minister Mark Edwin being found guilty of electoral fraud, the Liberal Conservatives were back in power and won a landslide victory.
The party is considered more towards the centre than the Conservative Party, adopting pro-environmentalist policies of the Liberal Party while maintaining the economically right, pro-capitalistic, policies of the Conservatives.
