Today
Economic liberalism is now probably best represented by some factions of the conservative Austrian People's Party, which also labels itself the party of open society in its manifesto. The Austrian Green Party, however, holds the most liberal views on social issues. The Alliance for the Future of Austria which was founded in 2005 as a split-off from the Freedom Party, sometimes considered itself right-libertarian("rechtsliberal").
Other small parties on the liberal spectrum include the Democrats and the Social Liberals.
