ChristenUnie

ChristenUnie is the mildest of the three Dutch Christian parties and often described as left-wing. ‘In socio-economic terms we are left of centre but you cannot categorise ChristenUnie in terms of left and right,’ said leader André Rouvoet in a newspaper interview. Biblical principles dictate party policy. The ChristenUnie is opposed to abortion and euthanasia and ties itself into knots over homosexuality, which it prefers to ignore.
