Lean HP. It's a christian theocracy. The freedom of religion seems to be only for those who believe in one, LGBTQ protections aren't included, abortion and assisted suicide bans are advocated, and their education platform is unsettling ("We support initiatives to improve education for virtue and citizenship"). Despite agreement on some economic policy, I could not support them.

A Christian democratic party proposing to compete in a multiparty political system in which both main parties are ostensibly secular and only one has any appreciable religiously-motivated faction is not 'theocracy'.

Sorry, I meant the party seems to have theocratic leanings, not the nation.

And by "theocratic" you mean having positions influenced by religion?

Yes. I am apparently bad with words Sad.

Though..

It looks like "if the Catholic Church had its own US political party..."

Literally. Every single position.
