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. Examples include the Reform Party of Canada, Canadian Alliance, Moderate Party (Sweden), People's Party (Spain), Party of the Liberal Front (Brazil), the Liberal Democratic Party (Japan), National Renewal (Chile) and the Liberal Party of Australia. The latter three parties include liberal in their name because of historical roots with liberalism.
