The National Liberal Party was a political party in Bermuda. It was established in 1985 as a breakaway from the Progressive Labour Party by a group of members opposed to the leadership of Lois Browne-Evans.[1] Four sitting MPs left to join the party, Gilbert Darrell, Austin Thomas, Lionel Simmons and Walter Brangman, although Simmons later returned to the PLP.[2]
The new party won two seats in the 1985 general elections with Thomas and leader Darrell retaining their seats.[3] However, the party struggled thereafter, and failed to win seats in the elections in 1993, 1998 and 2003.
