History
The Conservative Party of Luthori was formed in the year 3890, when the Liberal Progressive Party broke up at their national Congress due to frustration from the results of the last election and ideological differences between factions in the party. The leaders and members within the party began quickly re-organizing into a new party, a party of right-leaning views and values, bringing the party back to its original Progress Party and Populist Alliance platform and ideology.

After much debate on the way to re-brand the party, the Conservative name was chosen to directly compete for the Economic Right votes within the Hosian Socialist Party. The ideology of Conservative-Liberalism was put at the fore-front of the party's policy along with Economic Liberalism and Federalism. The party was met with backlash from its more progressive wing of voters in the first election, loosing an additional four seats in the Diet. After sensible amounts of campaigning through the next two elections, the party was able to establish as the Right-Leaning alternate to the Hosian Socialist Party and the Liberal Alliance.

The party's first and current leader is Jarred Williams who along with the first party chairman, Gregory Kensington was influential in the re-branding of the party.
