The Family Party of Germany (German: Familienpartei Deutschlands) is a minor conservative[3] political party in Germany. The party is represented in the European Parliament by one MEP, Niels Geuking. It has elected members to several local councils in the state of Saarland. The party wants to introduce a right to vote for children carried out by the legal guardians.
Ideology and Platform
[edit]The Family Party is a firmly right-wing party that is socially conservative. It was formerly part of the ECR group and now is part of the EPP group. However, the party claims to be a party of the political center in its federal election platform. The party also calls for equal treatment of family work and paid work, and wants to create political framework conditions to enable women and men to start families without economic, political or social disadvantages.[4]
