But we tend to find ourselves agreeing more often with parties that espouse liberal values, internationalism and centrist economics, such as the Democrats in the US, Liberal Democrats in the UK, FDP in Germany, Renaissance/MoDem in France, the Liberal Party in Canada, and so on. **Further reading** - I’m a neoliberal.

It is pretty silly that we don't give two shits about affairs and cheating anymore legally but still oppose polyamory or polygamy where everyone is aware. Stupid cultists ruining it for everyone else.
"Where everyone is aware" is part of the problem. Most poly groups don't want people to know, because of the stigma associated with it. That's a double edged sword, again because how do you say a woman consented to be a sister wife when she's been conditioned from birth to be a servant inside an insular community?
There are also a number of contractual and legal issues related to being married that are built around a 1 to 1 relationship. If six people want to live in a house together and all sleep together and raise kids together, consenting adults have that option. Who gets custody in a breakup? Who gets the house when someone dies? That's got to be spelled out because it's not a standard marriage.
It isn't like being remarried multiple times with step parents who may or may not have adopted their step kids is a smooth process. Or even just a basic divorce can be really complex in a way that having more people wouldn't really be that much of a difference.
But we even treat non-marriage relationships with multiple people worse than someone cheating on their spouse. It is just silly.
I'm not interested, one person is complicated enough for me.
