The Patriotic Union (German: Vaterländische Union), abbreviated to VU, is a centre-right, Christian democratic and conservative political party in Liechtenstein. It is led by Adolf Heeb and has 13 members in the Landtag, an absolute majority in the current session. The Prime Minister, Klaus Tschütscher, is a member of the Patriotic Union, as are two Councilors.[1]
Together with fellow centre-right party the Progressive Citizens' Party (FBP), the VU dominates Liechtenstein politics. The VU is the more liberal of the two parties, advocating constitutional monarchy and greater democracy.[2]
