List of major liberal parties considered left

Liberalism is frequently associated with centrism.^[1] However, especially in countries whose mainstream political spectrum includes liberals and conservatives but not socialists and social democrats, liberals may be considered left-leaning or left-of-centre as opposed to conservatives. Also, even in countries where socialist political forces exist significantly, some liberal parties have political leftist characteristics.
