| Liberal Party of Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1442 words) |
 | In state politics, however, the reverse applies: the Liberals and Nationals are in opposition in all Australian states and territories. |
 | Throughout their history, the Liberals have been the party of the middle class (whom Menzies, in the era of the party's formation called "the forgotten people"), though such class-based voting patterns are no longer as clear as they once were. |
 | One effect of this was the success of a breakaway party, the Australian Democrats, founded in 1977 by former Liberal minister Don Chipp and members of minor liberal parties; other members of the left-leaning section of the middle-class became Labor supporters. |
