The Partij voor de Bevrijding van het Volk, commonly abbreviated PBV is a centre-left party in Vanuku that, at times, has encompassed the concepts of centrism, third way policies, and democratic socialism. The PBV spent its first twenty years in existence as the sole opposition party in Vanuku, before gaining an election break through due to disorganization in the primary opponent, the Vanukese Conservatieven. The PBV has since formed seven majority governments, two coalition governments, and elected four heads of state, serving eight terms.
