The Republican Liberal Party (Portuguese : Partido Republicano Liberal, PLR) was a political party in Portugal.
The party was established in 1919 by a merger of the Evolutionist Party and the Republican Union. [1] The new party emerged as the largest in the 1921 elections, winning 79 of the 163 seats in the House of Representatives and 32 of the 71 seats in the Senate. However, it was beaten by the Democratic Party in the 1922 elections.
In 1923 the party merged with the Reconstitution Party and the National Republican Party to form the Nationalist Republican Party. [1]
A dominant-party system, or one-party dominant system, is a political occurrence in which a single political party continuously dominates election results over running opposition groups or parties. Any ruling party staying in power for more than one consecutive term may be considered a dominant party.

The Liberal Party of Cuba, was one of the major political parties in Cuba from 1910 until the Cuban Revolution in the late 1950s, when it was exiled.
Since the beginning of liberalism in Portugal in the 19th century, several parties have, by gaining representation in parliament, continued the liberal ideology in contemporary Portuguese politics. But after the initial fervor of the Liberal Revolution of 1820 and the outcome of the Liberal Wars (1828–1834) during the 19th century, liberalism was relegated to a secondary role in Portuguese politics and government and even outlawed for periods of time. The first fully-fledged liberal party founded as such to have a seat in the Portuguese Parliament since the end of the First Portuguese Republic (1910–1926), was the Liberal Initiative, in 2019.
The 1944 United States Senate elections coincided with the re-election of Franklin D. Roosevelt to his fourth term as President. The Democrats retained their large majority, although they lost a net of one seat to the Republicans.

The 1962 United States elections were held on November 6 to elect the members of the 88th United States Congress. The election occurred in the middle of Democratic President John F. Kennedy's term. The Republican Party picked up four seats in the House of Representatives, but the Democrats retained strong majorities in both houses of Congress. In the Senate, Democrats won a net gain of four seats from the Republicans, maintaining control of the Senate. In the gubernatorial elections, neither party won a net gain of seats. Notably, 1960 Republican presidential nominee Richard Nixon lost the California gubernatorial election, which many analysts, as well as Nixon himself, incorrectly predicted to be the end of his political career.
The 1974 United States elections were held on November 5. The elections occurred in the wake of the Watergate scandal and three months into term of Republican President Gerald Ford. Democrats expanded their majorities in both houses of Congress.
The 1872 and 1873 United States Senate elections were elections which had the Republican Party, while still retaining a commanding majority, lose two seats in the United States Senate. By the beginning of the Congress, however, they'd lost three more: two as defections to the Liberal Republican Party, and one a resignation of Henry Wilson to become U.S. Vice President. These elections also coincided with President Ulysses S. Grant's easy re-election.
