The CDA is a party with a long tradition and can be considered as one of the big three of Dutch politics, on the centre-right. While only established in 1980, it was created from a merger between the catholic party (est. 1945), the mostly reformed anti-revolutionary party (est. 1879), and the protestant party (est. 1908). This new, broad umbrella party for Christians unified the Dutch right wing. The CDA or its predecessors have participated in almost all governments since 1918, only being part of the opposition between 1994-2002 and 2012-2017. The party seeks to combine social-conservatism, fairness and solidarity, based on their Christian beliefs. It's influence and power has greatly diminished, due to the rise of other parties on the right and internal strive, such as the power-struggle with Pieter Omtzigt.
