Not a particularly well-defined fact.

American's tend to think it means the opposite of conservative, when in 
Australia the right-wing party called itself the liberal party, because 
it was for free trade and against protecting Australian manufacturers 
from overseas competition. Ironically, it was the left-wing Labor party 
that finally dropped protectionism in the 1980s, and unlike Thatcher in 
the UK, did it in a way that didn't wreck the economy.
