Conservative Party (Enderron)

The Conservative Party (known as the Conservative People's Party from 1965 to 1983) was a centre-right political party in Enderron that existed from 1965 to 2000. It was considered one of the two major political parties in Enderronian politics during the 1990s, the other being the centre-left Social Democratic Party of Enderron.

The party was founded in 1965 as the Conservative People's Party by ex-members of the United Party's right-wing faction. At first, the party struggled to attract voters, and remained on the fringe of the Enderronian political spectrum. It won its first seat in the Enderronian Parliament in 1978. From 1983, under leader Bradley Kelling, the party was renamed and began moderating its platform, and was seriously challenging the United Party by the end of the decade. The Conservatives overtook United as the largest party of the centre-right in 1992 when more than a third of the United parliamentary caucus defected to the Conservatives. The party therefore became the Official Opposition, a position it held until it merged with the Liberal Democrats in February 2000 to become the Liberal Party of Enderron.
