 | | Liberalism is a political current embracing several historical and present-day ideologies that claim defence of individual liberty as the purpose of government. |
 | | Liberals also argued that nations which had been under imperial rule should be allowed to form their own states, and that old empires should be broken up, at least on the European continent. |
 | | In a liberal state, their function is to act as a collective bargaining counterweight to the power of corporations, where as in social democracy, they are part of the power structure, and often assured of seats on corporate boards and a legally backed voice in the operation of large corporations. |
