</span> National conservatism is a political term used primarily in Europe to describe a type of conservatism which is mainly concerned with promoting nationalist feelings as well as upholding cultural and ethnic identity. Common themes which unite all national conservatives are Euroscepticism, social conservatism, and, most importantly, very strong opposition to immigration.
Besides those common elements, national conservatives may hold very different views in different countries, depending on local factors. This is particularly true in the case of economic issues, where the views of national conservatives can range anywhere between support for a planned economy to advocating a centrist mixed economy to upholding a laissez-faire ultra-capitalist economy.
National conservatism can be said to fill the political gap between established center-right political parties and the nationalist far right. Examples of national conservative parties include:
- Movement for France (France)
- Likud (Israel)
- National Alliance (Italy)
- For Fatherland and Freedom (Latvia)
- League of Polish Families (Poland)
- Kuomintang (Republic of China)
- Swiss People's Party (Switzerland)
- Danish People's Party, da: Dansk Folkeparti (Denmark)
