  Liberal Party (Hong Kong) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although not a libertarian party in the traditional sense due to its wishy-washy support of protecting civil liberties, the Hong Kong Liberal Party is an example of a successful political party with libertarian economic policies such as the opposition of a minimum wage, collective bargaining, and antitrust legislation.
In July 6, 2003, James Tien Pei Chun the leader of Liberal Party resigned from the Executive Council of Hong Kong and forced the government to delay the second reading of the legislation to implement Article 23 of the Basic Law.
However, at almost the same time, Liberal Party decided to change its policy from "all Legislation members should be directly elected in 2007" to "Hong Kong should become more democratic." The founder and ex-chair of Liberal Party, Allen Lee Peng Fei, decided to leave the party since he believed the change was against public sentiments.

In comparison, in the 2000 PEI General Election, the PC Party received 58 percent support on the Island, while the Liberal Party received 34 percent backing, and the NDP received 8 percent support.

Accordingly, to predict seat totals based on results from the latest Omnibus poll, outcomes from 2000 for all ridings on PEI were adjusted to reflect a 2 percentage point increase for the PCs, and a 2 percentage point decrease for the NDP, while outcomes for the Liberals were kept the same.
