There are also liberal parties involved in right-wing politics in many parts of the world.

Right-wing to far-right conservative parties using the party name "Liberal"
Some related terms like libertarianism (representing economic liberalism, neoliberalism, and right-libertarianism in what otherwise is called classical liberalism and libertarianism in the United States) are usually associated with right-wing politics. Similarly, conservative parties in South Korea usually use variation of Jayu (Korean: 자유; lit. "liberal", "freedom", or "liberty"), which might be translated as "liberal". These political parties have "Liberal" in their party names but most of them deviate from the general liberal principles.
