The Liberal Congress (El Congréßeu Liberál) is a Talossan political party announced on 18 March 2014/XXXV by C. Carlüs Xheraltescù, former leader of the ZRT. He was joined shortly after by a number of Talossans from across the political spectrum.

Talossan Liberalism

The Liberal Congress subscribes to the philosophy of Talossan Liberalism, which encompasses the comprehensive liberal commitment to the protection of political, civil, provincial and personal liberties in Talossa in addition to radical political and electoral reform ranging from a reduction in the number of Cosa seats thereby preserving political competition, to reforming party registration fees.

Succinctly, the Liberals aim to provide greater freedom for Talossans to choose their own conception of the good in addition to providing far-reaching reform.

Constitution

On the 23rd of April, the Liberal Congress voted to adopt a Constitution to govern the party. The current version is available below.
