The Conservative Monarchist Party (Batavian: Conservatieve Monarchistische Partij) is the liberal-conservative party in Batavia. It is currently the largest party in the Lagerhuis.

History

1527 – 1570

The current Conservative Monarchist Party claims to be a continuation of the historic Conservative Monarchist Party, which came into being on 12 Grasmaand 1527 AN as a merger between the Christian Social Union (Batavian: Christelijke Sociale Unie) and the Monarchist Conservative Party (Batavian: Monarchistische Conservatieve Partij). The party was originally called the Christian Monarchist Party (Batavian: Christelijke Monarchistische Partij), but that changed to the current name on 5 Herfstmaand 1544 AN.

In 1570 AN what was left of the once large party was transformed into the Batavian Front Party (Batavian: Bataafsche Frontpartij). This is seen by historians as the end of the Conservative Monarchist Party.

1666 – now

The party was re-established by Arkadius Frederik Gustavus des Vinandy on 21 Slachtmaand 1666 AN. With his coronation as king of Batavia, he left the party.
