          IW, the way you put it it's a matter of the actual course a governing party takes. As a joke, I said it was a matter of the party's 'colour', its official affiliation and all that...

            Oh come on, Hueij, lighten up. I dislike CDA as well but the idea of having a wizard as PM is kinda funny in a way

                        It is, to those in this forum who think that leftists are, by definition, better people than Christian Democrats. That's not what I think, although I will probably never vote CD.

                          Would someone please post the platform of the Christian Democrat party in the Netherlands? I'd like to find out for myself if they are @#$%ed.

                              CDA is a union of three former Christian parties, one Roman Catholic, two Protestant.
                              In matters of economy they are a party of the centre, somewhere in the middle between the PvdA (Social Democrats) and the more conservative VVD, but with an important social paragraph, based on their Christian identity. Their left wing (mainly Protestants) have been known to be allies of the left, but there has always been a right wing which felt more attracted to the VVD, the main right-wing party.
                              Regarding euthanasia, abortion, gay rights, they are conservative, but never reactionary.
                              Explaining the CDA to Americans, I would say it can be situated somewhere in between the Democrats and the Republicans, but closer to the Democrats.
