The Conservative Party (Carlosian: TBD) is a centre-right political party in Carloso. It is the second-oldest party in the country, formed on 24 June 1893. It dominated Carlosian politics for most of the 20th century and the early years of the 21st, with only brief interruptions by the Democratic Party during the 1960s and from 2001 to 2006. Initially considered a staunchly nationalist, conservative and anti-communist party for much of its existence, it began to soften its stances beginning in the 1990s with the downfall of the communist regimes in Musogorica, embracing neoliberal economics. The Corrective Revolution in 2010 resulted in the near total collapse of the Conservative Party's support, producing what was then considered it's worst ever election result. Most of the grassroots, finanical backers and the national conservative faction of the party defected to the new National Salvation, a splinter group led by former Minister for Finance Cárlos Tobón and businessman Estebán Santander.
While it modestly recovered at the 2015 election, the party suffered a crippling blow at the 2020 election amidst another huge shift in support towards National Salvation from nationalist voters, and a general shift of moderate voters towards the Democratic Party. Party leader Ferdinand Casares subsequently resigned as leader and was succeeded by Orlin Almansar. Deputy leader Raúl Figueroa, who was being investigated by Carlosian authorities for possession of illegal drugs, also resigned from his position, having also lost his seat. As of 2021, the political concensus is that the Conservative Party is no longer the main party of the right-wing in Carloso and it is in terminal decline.
