{{Politics of Disparu|expand=political parties}}
The '''Christian Democrats of Disparu''' ({{wikipedia|French language|French}}: ''Chrétiens-démocrates du Disparu'') are a {{wikipedia|political party}} in [[Disparu]]. They are currently led by Robert Létourneau. The Christian Democrats currently hold 37 seats in the [[National Assembly of Disparu|National Assembly]].

==History==

Prior to the [[History of Disparu#Second Quiet Revolution|Second Quiet Revolution]], the party was banned from participating in [[Disparu#Elections|elections]] by the [[Supreme Court of Disparu|Supreme Court]] due to accusations of the party violating the {{wikipedia|separation of church and state}} entrenched in the [[Constitution of Disparu|Constitution]] (and, later, the [[Basic Laws of Disparu|Basic Laws]]). However, it vigorously campaigned against the ruling, and petitioned many prominent individuals and Government officials to revoke the ruling.

On 14 May 2012, the [[History of Disparu#Nation-Building|National Tribunal]], after weeks of trials and debate, lifted the ban on the Christian Democrats (and the re-established Supreme Court would later affirm the ruling). The party officially formed on the next day.

==Policies==

The party's official ideology is {{wikipedia|Christian democracy}}. The party mainly supports the {{wikipedia|Catholic social teaching|social teachings}} of the {{wikipedia|Roman Catholic Church}}, although it also supports other {{wikipedia|Christian churches}} as well. Despite this, the party supports an individual's {{wikipedia|freedom of religion}}.

Socially, the Christian Democrats are on the {{wikipedia|centre-right}} of the {{wikipedia|political spectrum}}, as they oppose {{wikipedia|abortion}}, {{wikipedia|same-sex marriage}} and {{wikipedia|secularization}}. They seek to re-establish the Roman Catholic Church as an integral part of Disparuean society, and have condemned the closure of {{wikipedia|Catholic schools}} following the Second Quiet Revolution. However, as the party supports {{wikipedia|social justice}}, the party supports {{wikipedia|human rights}}, supports {{wikipedia|immigration}} and {{wikipedia|refugees}}, opposes [[wars]], and places a strong emphasis on the community.

In contrast, the Christian Democrats are fiscally on the {{wikipedia|centre-left}}, due to their support of the concept of social justice. As such, they support the Disparuean {{wikipedia|welfare state}}, and support the strengthening of welfare programs and the establishment of {{wikipedia|universal health care}} in Disparu (albeit with involvement from the Church). The party supports increased {{wikipedia|labor rights}} and stricter regulations on corporations and banks.

Even though many of the Christian Democrats' fiscal policies agree with the [[Social Democratic Party of Disparu|Social Democrats]]' policies, the Christian Democrats' opposition to {{wikipedia|Communism}} has resulted in their refusal to support the Social Democrats. As a result, the Christian Democrats has allied itself with the [[Conservative Party of Disparu|Conservatives]], the only other elected party in Disparu with policies similar to that of the Christian Democrats.
