Our objectives

• To explain the significance and importance of conservative values for the survival of our civilisation in a way that is understandable.
• Po provide the public with the trustworthy information and data required to find their own way around social debate.
• To offer public support to the legal and social conditions required to uphold and develop key conditions for the cultural foundations of society.
• To look for agreement across society on the values that we share and consider to be decisive for the onward functioning of a cohesive society of free people.
• To prioritise and defend the rights of children to a stable family with a mother and father. To preserve the sole place of marriage between woman and man in society, and not allow the ideological, legal, or economic weakening of this.

Our values

Individual freedom and responsibility

We believe that people are able to deal with their own matters themselves. The upbringing of children included. We do not wish for a state that wants to control the lives of its people with a view to forever shrinking the space in which the individual has scope for activity. All under the pretence that it is protecting them. Progressivism prevents people from maturing. A conservative, by contrast, believes in the human ability to look after oneself. To make sure this belief is not simply blind faith, resulting in anarchy that ends up in dictatorship, people need to consciously teka responsibility for their actions and actually mature. When taking decisions, we go with our inner values. Let’s call these conservative. Conservatism protects the human inside us from the animal we have within. Conservatism wants people to be mature and responsible, rather than nothing more than a child for life whose decisions are taken by the state and its leaders.

Trust in institutions

Institutions that know how to defend against the whims of individuals are crucial for the healthy running of society. Conservatives think and work over the long-term. We live in times in which the public arena looks like something akin to the swarm of mayflies in Pictures from the Insects’ Life, the play by the brothers Čapek. Whoever knows how to attract attention, no matter how, would seem to be the winner. We support institutions that defend the roots from which the success of our civilisation and culture grew.

Culture, not ideology

As conservatives, we face a lot of hate for “preventing the modernisation of society”. That is untrue. We have answers to 21st-century questions. We are well aware of how thin the line is between well-established and outdated, traditional and non-functional. Our approach to problems, however, is cultural, not ideological. We do not confuse modernisation with shallowness, we believe in the depth of our culture and in its ability to regenerate. We don’t leave something behind simply because it has been here a long time. We conduct open debate that looks for the common aspect, and does not get bogged down by unimportant details.

Family is love

Let’s not be afraid of the words. Family is the way of life. Passing on the unwritten norms and rules that are crucial for the survival of civilisation. The institute of marriage is the legal protection of this way of life. Any deconstruction of this means that we will not live as a community, but as loners. Society should be interested in the natural working of the family, because otherwise it will succumb to selfish personal interests. The state does not form the family; instead, the family forms the state. And relating to this, support of the weakest – children and senior citizens. Love comes in many shapes and forms, and family is one of them. Irreplaceable and unique.

Conservatism is prosperity

Values such as work ethic, frugality, independence, resilience, and the untouchable nature of private property are the foundation on which the economic success of our civilisation has been built to date. Success built on the fascination of attention instead of building something stable merely pretends to be modernisation. The true innovators are those who create something. What’s shown to be true is true, our parents said. Socialism is misery, no matter how you dress it up. In economics, time is on the side of the conservatives.
