'''Social Liberal Party''' is a [[Brazil]]ian political party ideologically connected to the [[libertarian]] and objectivist [[right]]. It was founded with moderately [[liberal]] ideas, who argued that the [[federal government]] should spend on [[healthcare]], [[education]], [[security]], [[energy]] and other basic industries, but that would total space for other sectors would be dominated by the private sector.

However, since 2015, taking advantage of the fact of the party being small and insignificant, the [[libertarian]] internal tendency ''LIVRES'' (in english: ''FREE'') decided to make an ideological reformulation in the party, leading the party to a more [[right-wing]] [[liberalism]], keeping the moderate social ideas, but turning the party [[fiscal conservatism|fiscally conservative]] and advocate of [[limited government]]<ref>[http://rodrigoconstantino.com/artigos/psl-se-renova-e-foca-mais-no-liberal-da-sigla-ou-its-happening/ PSL is renewed and more focused on the "Liberal" of Acronym]</ref>.

The party doesn't qualify as a [[right-wing]] party, as it believes that the term "[[right-wing]]" is closely associated to [[social conservatism|social conservative]]s, which the party opposes. However, recognizes [[economic freedom]] as a right-wing ossue and says that in the eyes of a [[socialist]] or [[liberal]], they're on the [[right]]. In the eyes of a [[conservative]], they're on the [[left]]. Despite the ideological makeover, they continue defining themselves as "[[liberal|liberal socials]]", and say they advocate a [[libertarianism]] that focuses on society, not the individual, differing from traditional [[libertarian]] currents. And as the [[New Party (Brazil)|New Party]], they also supports the permanence of certain social programs created by the ultra-left governments of [[Party of Brazilian Social Democracy|PSDB]] and [[Worker's Party (Brazil)|PT]]. Like the [[American]] [[Libertarian Party]], PSL qualify themselves as [[fiscal conservatism|fiscally conservative]] and [[liberal|socially liberal]].

According to its official website, the party supports the [[American]] model of [[federalism]]<ref>[http://www.psl.org.br/ Our issues]</ref>.
