A small party with a charismatic leader and loyal followers. Although based on Christian values and beliefs, they are considered advocates for religious freedom in general. They strongly opposed the abolishment of the state church and the newly passed taxation of religious organizations. The party wants mandatory bible studies in Gnejs schools, a more liberal view in economic issues and mandatory military service. On a more controversial note, the party strongly opposes the rights for gay people to get married and/or adopt. Most of the followers are located in southern Gnejs and they govern several regions in coalition with the Moderate Party (of Gnejs). The party’s leader is Richard Garve, a 69 year old ex-minister in the Church of Gnejs and author of the book “How atheism corrupted Gnejs and stole my daughters virginity”.

The Christian Democratic Party currently holds 33 of the 394 seats in the parliament.
