The Conservative and Nationalist Party of Tarper (CNP), often simply known as the Conservatives, is a Conservative and Liberal Conservative party in Tarper. The party is the first truly Conservative party since the demise of the Conservative Democrats in 1988.

The party split from the New National Party of Tarper in 2007, months after its founding, after the moderates fought with the more radical leadership. This relationship with the neo-fascists combined with its electoral success led to the CNP becoming the target of several investigations by the Federal Constitutional Court and scrutinizing after the Passing of the Antifa Act in 2015. The CNP was found free of any fascists or authoritarians and was able to gain representation in the parliament following the 2017 Tarperti federal election.

Since 2009, the party has mellowed out and adopted more socially liberal policy standings. In 2009 some party members who were also part of the LGBT+ community petitioned the party leadership to allow their caucus into the party, the leadership agreed to do so. This marked a pivotal step in differentiating the CNP from its cousin the New National Party. Federal Investigations also lessened afterwards.
