Ideology
editParty members see themselves as the heirs of the party, which operated in the early 20th century, and use the theory of modern liberal conservatism (Anglo-Saxon conservatism). In particular, party officials declare, that they represent the interests of the middle class – of businessmen and of intellectuals.[citation needed]
