The Conservative Party is a Christian Democratic political party in Arkiasis. The CDU is conservative on cultural, social, and moral issues (and is thus a supporter of social conservatism), while advocating a social market economy, egalitarianism and social justice.

Platform

The party describes itself as following the tenets of Christian Democracy. It emphasizes "respect of human dignity, the importance of family and close communities, defending the weak and vulnerable, encouraging resourcefulness and individual and collective responsibility, not just for themselves but also for their neighbours and the rest of creation". Membership is open to everyone who agrees with these values and aims.
