The Christian Democratic Party (Spanish: Partido Demócrata Cristiano), commonly known as the Christian Democrats (Spanish: Demócratas cristianos) and the Christ-Dems and abbreviated as the CDP, was a center-right political party in Brazoria. The party is a Christian democratic liberal conservative political party that was active from 1989 to 2001.
The Christian Democrats were founded on September 26, 1989 by Stephen Moore and Fernando Alvera Sanchez, two prominent Brazorian émigré conservative thinkers and philosophers. The creation of the Christian Democratic Party was in direct reaction to the moderate policies of the Federalist Party, resulting in the socially and religiously conservative factions of the party defecting to form the Christian Democrats. The party received initial success, becoming the third largest political party in the Diet following the Federalists and the New Democratic Bloc. However, the party's support for the controversial tenure of Jacob Milton and its lack of support amongst Brazoreño conservatives saw a massive decline in support by the Pecan Revolution of 2000 with the Christian Democrats falling to sixth-place in the 2000 general election.
On April 29, 2001, the Christian Democratic Party was formally dissolved and merged with another wave of conservative dissidents from the Federalist Party and other socially conservative groups to form the People's Conservative Party, later rebranded to the People's Party. During its existence, the Christian Democratic Party primarily received the support of Angleso conservatives, primarily of a protestant faith, of the eastern provinces. The party also received the support of various Mormon communities in Colorado. The Christian Democratic Party was a member of the International Democrat Union, the Centrist Democratic Union, and was a provisional partner of the American Coalition for Liberty in the American Parliament.
