Christian Democratic Party (Vaule)

==Overview==
The Christian Democratic Party was established in December 2010 as an alternative to the many secular political parties which have tended to dominate the political sphere in Vauleyo-Buryatia. Main ideology of the Christian Democrats is that Christian principles can and should be applied to government policy. The Christian Democrats declare that as a Vaulian Orthodox Christian nation, the principles of Christianity are of fundamental importance to the nation and its people.
Unlike many other political parties in the Serene Republic, the Christian Democrats are unapologetically conservative on social issues. The party has suggested that Vaule’s history of electing Socialist and Communist political parties has had a negative effect on the role of faith in the daily lives of citizens. On economic matters, the Christian Democrats tend to be slightly conservative.
The leader of the Christian Democratic Party is Mrs. Radislava Terdič. Mrs. Terdič was born in Caledonia province to relatively well-off parents. She obtained a Bachelors’ Degree in Physics from the State University of Caledonia.
==First Election==
In the first Parliamentary elections held in the Serene Republic, the Christian Democrats won 33 (5%) of the 651 seats in the Parliament. While the party made a strong first showing, its senior leadership is concerned about the party's poor results in several urban areas, noably Sygh-Varthys, where they obtained less than 3% of the vote. The party is also aiming to separate itself from Christian Fundamentalism, which it believes may have cost it votes in the election.
