<!--Für was steht eine Partei? Parteiprogramme sind irrelevant. Sie können als Blendwerk dienen. Entscheidend ist, welche Politik die Spitzen fordern. Sind die Forderungen der Basis nicht neu, und werden zumindest toleriert, ist es das, wohin die Partei wirklich strebt.-->

======Ultraconservatives======
Ultraconservatives - and the right-wing populists riding their mindsets - have the '''strong tendency''' to be supporter of '''nationalism''' - and are prone to protectionism, isolationism and autarky - as those ideas ''naturally'' connect their lived or propagated world views and are therefore allegedly good for their nations. They do '''stronger international networking (than leftists)''' and are therefore connected by a '''right-wing ideology of nativism'''. Furthermore most of the adherents are also '''anti-Islamic''' (expect for the Islamic nationalists themselves of course). While their political bases have subliminal to strong antisemitic tendencies the ultraconservatives heads will support any right-wing Israeli government because of the before mentioned networking.<!-- They basically connect by a ''softer'' form of ethnopluralism (preference for the original population, as less immigration as possible, as much conservatism as possible).-->
Also: Sometimes ''(pro-)zionistic'' (pro-Israeli) and ''(pro-)semitistic'' (pro-Jewish) statements can also be used as a protection against accusations of racism according to the motto "you cannot be a racist when you are pro-Israeli". (In Germany CxU und AfD ultraconservatives used to be [https://www.tagesspiegel.de/politik/verbundete-gegen-islam-und-islamismus-4035085.html extra cautious] to not rise attention by antisemitic statements in public.) [[wp:Israel%E2%80%93Hamas_war|After 2023]] all the more as support for the state Israel can be used against pro-Palestine factions and their left sympathizers - which unluckily really have become more antisemitic in the wake of the activists that propagate the critical race theory and anti-colonialism.
The ultraconservatives are using xenophob (antimigrat) and queerphobe (homophobe, transphobe, etc.) positions to create two shared images of enemies ("Feindbilder") that serves as '''universal scapegoats''' and '''populistic mobilization instruments'''. An unexpected help for those people are the largely uncontrolled therefore polarizing, hate inciting (anti-)social media which algorithms help to propagate their under-complex narratives fitting the shorter becoming attention span of the still easily influenceable youngsters.
The ultraconservatives are only exceeded by the extreme right that extend these views by even more radical versions (''hard'' ethnopluralism), strong anti-scientific, anti-factual narratives and conspiracy theories.

The Christian Democrats are moderate right-wing conservatives and also named "Union parties" or C-parties. They are sporadically abbreviated CxU on internet platforms. Critics sometimes tell them to ''finally'' drop the C in their names. "Christian [values] in name only."<!-- As long as they can't overcome their strategic emptiness and witless populism they are left with a C that just stands open to the right. Watch out. It could be cannibalistic...-->

"The employers (and well-off employees) party." The common dominator by clientele and money but has the most corruption scandals. Chancellor Merkel had a strategy that ensure victories for many years. The costs for that strategy were a non-implementation of uncomfortable but important reforms. They lost the Bundestagswahl in 2021 by simply having the wrong candidate which also provoked a quarrel with their Bavarian sister party CSU.
