The Beluzian Liberty and Freedom Party (BLFP) was founded in June of 4043, as a more conservative response by intellectuals (primarily academics, economists, historians, and cynical students, and many of whom have ties to Stantonshire University) to an increasingly liberal government. They advocate minimal government involvement, and maximum individual freedoms. Their first party leader was Prof. Aaron Geary, a professor of political theory at Stantonshire University. During initial formation, a vast majority of the members wanted a slow deregulation process, and was very willing to make compromises to achieve this.
