Højre

  

Højre ('Right' in Danish) is a conservative political party in Greenland. It is the country's oldest political party, having been established in 1880, four years after Greenland gained independence from Denmark. It has dominated Greenlandic politics for more than a century and has maintained a majority in the Landstinget (Parliament) in every election since TBD. It currently has TBD out of 31 seats in the Greenlandic parliament and TBD out of Greenland's 10 seats on the American Parliament.

Founded in 1880, the party was based on the conservative party of the same name in Denmark at the time. The Højre's stated goals are to protect the freedom and cultural heritage of the Greenlandic people, including the family, the Monarchy and the Catholic Church of Greenland, to enforce a strict rule of law, to work against Greenland becoming a multi-cultural society by limiting immigration and promoting cultural assimilation of admitted immigrants, to maintain a strong welfare system for those in need, and to promote entrepreneurship and economic growth by strengthening education and encouraging people to work, to protect the environment and natural resources, and to work within the Conference of American States (CAS). Unlike many other conservative parties in North America, Højre supports membership in the CAS, although it has a small Americoskeptic faction.
