Liberal conservatism

Liberal-conservatism is the variant of conservatism that combines traditional conservative values with liberal ideas, especially on economic issues (free market). Sometimes conservatives name themselves liberals, when they adhere to liberal economic ideas. Since they generally don't emphasise the individual, these 'liberals' can be considered liberal conservatives. See e.g. the Liberal Democratic Party (Japan) or the Liberal Party of Australia. Both parties include liberal in their name because of historical roots with liberalism.
