Liberal Democrats (French: Libéraux Démocrates, pronounced [libeʁo demɔkʁat]) is a minor French-speaking political party in Belgium.
In part due to the short time before the regional elections, Destexhe list did not secure any seats and announced in May it would re-establish itself with a new name.
The party defines itself as a "liberal democratic right-wing party" and has a 10 point policy plan, which includes curbing immigration levels, stronger integration policies and opposition to multiculturalism, improving public management, reviewing the benefits system, stricter prison sentences for violent criminals, improving schools and reducing traffic and pollution levels.

Some former members of the Liberal Democrats later joined the new right-wing Chez Nous party.
