| - In Lovia, the terms liberal and liberalism have ambiguous meanings. This is due to Lovia's socio-political position between the United States and Europe. In the American sense, liberal refers to progressivism or American modern liberalism. Examples include leaders of the Democratic Party and several intellectuals like Howard Zinn and Noam Chomsky. In Lovia, supporters of this liberalism are mostly called progressives. Progressive parties include Labour and the CPL.nm. There is a broad platform of leftists and progressives in Lovia, especially since the re-election of Yuri Medvedev in 2010 Federal Elections. Within the European framework, liberalism stands for classical economics and political liberalism, relating to individual freedom and the free market. Within the American framework, liberalism stands for modern liberalism or social liberalism, a slightly leftist ideology, though not as far left as socialism or communism. The movement's symbolic color is usually blue and/or yellow/gold. In the late 2000s and early 2010s, this European terminology prevails in Lovia, heavily influenced by eminent Western European or Libertan immigrants. Classical liberalism is therefore known simply as liberalism, while modern liberalism is typically known as progressivism or social liberalism. The most powerful classical liberal parties in Lovia include the Conservative Nationalist Party, Positive Lovia and the Progressive Conservative Party.
