History
The Conservatives and Reformist Party was founded as a traditionally centre-right party in August 4261 by Albert Heulsmann, whom currently serves as the party's leader. It quickly allied its self with the Pragmatikers, a party with similar ideological principles.

In preparation for the November 4264 election, the party announced it was targeting 35 seats, from which 12 were Alliance for Freedom, 7 from the Progress Party, 6 from both the Free Conservatives and Forwards Republic and 4 from the Pragmatiker Party. It later announced that it would be standing in every seat at the next election. An early election was called after the Pragmatiker Party dissolved.

The party rose to the main opposition party, third overall party, after the December 4263 election. After entering government, the party set about many key social and economical reforms before suffering electoral defeat in 4274, leading to its dissolution in October 4277. Many party members subsequently joined the new Alternative for Dorvik, a further right-wing and Artanianskeptic party.

The party was re-established in 4305, subsequently leading to electing Frank Landsberg as leader. He has fought on a pro-AU, federalists basis; seeking the return of the federal republic to Dorvik. He continues to lead the party as the third largest party in opposition.

4321 General election
The first scheduled election in decades, the Conservatives had high expectations of gaining seats which was probable after the dissolution of the TGP.(Traditional Justice Party). However, the exit poll predicted they would suffer a loss of between 13-17 seats, underestimating the 20 lost. As a result, George Rohrmann was forced out as leader with moderate Katarina Riemann taking his place. She successfully led negotiations on behalf of the KRA, leading them to joining government in 4322. She became finance secretary.
