List of liberal leaders - Definition and Overview

The list of self- or otherwise proclaimed liberal leaders is now part of the articles on liberalism by country. Some of the people listed there moved away from liberalism, while others espoused other ideologies before turning to liberalism. There are many different views of what constitutes liberalism, and some liberals would feel that some of the people on this list were not true liberals. However, all people on the list either claimed to be liberals, or were very widely perceived to be so by others.
