The National Party (Gaullican: Parti National, Papotement: Pati Nasyonal ), commonly known by its Gaullican abbreviation PTN, is a rightist political party in Carucere. It is one of the minor ethnic political parties in Carucere, representing conservative Catholics.
The National Party was founded in 1944 as part of the opposition to the Democratic Party, representing the Catholic Church and Carucerean Catholics. It was a major player in post-independence politics after it gained support among working classing creoles and whites. It established its conservatism after objected to the Carucerean National Congress's politics and support for secularism. In recent years, the PTN has gained support outside its traditional base, especially among conservative Catholic Whites and Creoles.
Today the party mainly represents Catholic conservatives. The party occupies a position straddling the political right in Carucere, generally advocating for a combination of hard right traditionalist Sotirian democratic, socially conservative, and distributive policies. The party also has a notable pro-Gaullican and pro-Chloéois faction, that supports greater ties with those countries. The party has longstanding links to the Solarian Catholic Church and is an affiliated partner of the Catholic Labour Party of Sainte-Chloé.
