The '''Conservative Party of Pharexia''' (Pharexian: ''Stéttarfélags''), is the major party of the Pharexian centre-right, and the leading party in both of the federal legislative houses. It was established as the merger of the [[Liberal Democratic Party (Pharexia|Liberal Democrats]] and the [[Ilyçisian Unity Party (Pharexia)|Ilyçisian Unity Party]] in 1961. The party self identifies as a conservative party of progress, and holds economic and social politics that align with standard conservative and [[Ilyçisian]] principles.
 
A coalition of the Conservative Party, the [[Science–Moderate Party]], and [[New Future (Pharexia)|New Future]] entered office in 2018 based on promises of tax cuts, better public services and stricter rules on immigration, with the informal support of the [[Ilyçisian Democrats]].
 
There have been in total 17 Conservative members of the Federal Council, the most from any one political party. It currently has 2 members, one of which is Head Councilor. As of 2019, the Conservatives leads the governmental coalition in both houses of the Federal Legislature.
 
==History==
==Political Positions==
===Economics===
Conservatives have said they believe that free markets and individual achievement are the primary factors behind economic prosperity. To this end, they advocate in favor of laissez-faire economics and fiscal conservatism. The party does, however, believe that there should be a strong "safety net" to assist the less fortunate and support maintaining the welfare state. The party opposes increasing in the national minimum wage but does not oppose regional legislatures if they decide to do so. They support the current single-payer government-run healthcare scheme but advocate for increased privatization in certain sectors.
===Devolution===
Ideologically, the Conservative Party typically supports a smaller federal government. Historically, this has translated into keeping power in the hands of regional and cantonal governments to handle taxes, infrastructure, and most local issues.
===Social Policies===
The Conservatives, like many parties in Pharexia, are difficult to classify as either liberal or conservative on social policies. While they oppose opposition to abortion and drug legalization, they are strong supporters of LGBT rights and gun control.
====Abortion====
Most Conservatives identify as pro-life and oppose abortion on religious and/or moral grounds. However, most hold exceptions in the case of the mother's life being at risk. When the Ward Assembly voted on the 2019 Right to Life Act, all of the eighteen Conservative members supported it. A recent poll found the majority of party members oppose elective abortion.
====Family====
The party strongly promotes itself as a pro-family party and encourage married couples to have more children. Legislation sponsored by Conservatives passed in 2018 to build 1,000 inexpensive housing units as a way to help young couples start a family, as well as lengthening maternity/paternity leave.
====LGBT====
Most Conservatives supported the legalization of same-sex marriage and adoption in Pharexia. However, they were more divided on the Gender Affirmation Act, which allowed transgender citizens to legally change their name and gender on their birth certificate.
 
====Guns====
Conservatives generally support maintaining the status quo on gun ownership rights and oppose further regulations on handguns for personal protection. Pharexia already has very strict gun rights.
