The formation of the LiberalMovement (LM) emerged from the long time dissatisfaction by members of the progressive wing of the Liberal and Country League (LCL) in South Australia, who believed that the LCL had remained philosophically trapped in the late nineteenth century.
Unfortunately, the hoped for nationwide support had not eventuated and by 1976, it was reported that only one third of LM members had renewed their membership that year, leading to a decision by the LiberalMovement South Australian State Convention of 1 May that year that the party would rejoin the Liberal Party.
