The Conservative Party is a centre-right political party in Albeinland. Currently, the conservatives are the ruling party of Albeinland since 2018, forming a coalition government with the right-wing Albish Nationalist League, being the first conservative government since 2003. Its leader is the current chancellor Vincent Lloyd, who disputed the 2018 general election, winning with 59% of the votes and succeeding the former party leader Oliver Harman.

The Conservative Party has its origins in the Cavalier Party, a reactionary party founded in the 17th century. In 1829, the chancellor Frederick Pittsburgh, on the pretext of modernize the political scene and also to attract more support to its government extinguished the old party and founded the Conservative Party under a more moderate conservative ideology. During the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, its greatest rivalry was agaisnt the Liberal Party and, since the 1920s, the Social Democratic Party, with the three parties disputing the total majority in parliamentary and general elections. Between 1952 and 2003, the conservatives suffered a weakening in political activity, returning to power only after 51 years.

Ideologically, the party adopts a conservative and policy on social issues, being against guidelines such as the legalization of drugs for recreational use, but in the recent years the party adopted a neutral instance for other social issues such as homosexuality. Economically, the party has a classical liberal platform although there is a small protectionist minority.
