Christian Socialist Party of Constantinopolis

The Christian Socialist Party of Constantinopolis (commonly abbreviated CSPC) is the third-largest political party in Constantinopolis, and an important presence in the country's political arena ever since the party's creation in 1931. Though they never won a plurality of votes in any national-level election, the Christian Socialists have been part of several ruling coalitions, and their influence has been a key factor in preserving the importance of Christian social views in the politics of Constantinopolis.

According to the party's Statement of Values, the goal of the CSPC is to "build a society based on the principles and values of Christianity: Love for one's neighbor, Social Justice and Equality, Pacifism, and Faith in Our Lord Jesus Christ". To this end, the CSPC "vigurously promotes Socialism in all economic affairs and Christian morality in all social and personal issues".

The CSPC concentrates most of its efforts towards the realm of social issues, where its socially conservative views clash with the progressive values of both the Communists and the Socialists. Above all, the CSPC demands the abolition of homosexual marriage (legalized in the 1980's) and the re-criminalization of soft drugs (legalized in the 1960's). It also demands the introduction of religious education in schools, and overall greater government involvement in matters of morality and established religion.
