The Conservative Party (Delkoran: Konservative Parti) is a centre-right political party in Delkora. Founded in 1833, it is one of the oldest parties in Delkoran politics and has long been influential in politics at both the federal and state level. Ten out of the 27 chancellors in Delkoran history have been members of the Conservative Party.
History
The Conservative Party was established following the Delkoran Civil War by Almar Bundgaard, a noble from Banderhus who had commanded the jarl militias during the war. Its membership consisted mainly of nobles who had opposed the Royalists. Although they had opposed Vallgaar's reign and sided with the rebellion, they were staunch monarchists who strongly opposed the establishment of a republic and were generally against democratic reforms.
In the context of the first party system, the Conservatives and Liberals were the two major parties that vied for support in elections. During this period, Conservative governments generally sought to protect the power and influence of the nobility, opposed secularization, and supported efforts to devolve power to the Delkoran states.
