Liberal and Country Party

The Liberal and Country Party (LCP) was a political party which operated as the state division of the Liberal Party of Australia in Victoria from 22 March 1949 until 6 March 1965. In spite of the name, and the traditional coalition or merger arrangements between the Liberal Party and the Country/National Party in Australia, the Liberal and Country Party was a separate entity from the Country Party, and was actually formed with the aim of eliminating the Country Party from Victorian politics entirely.
