You can reach them here:

The Christian Union is a protestant party, which can be considered centre-left or centre-right, depending on the issue. It is an alternative to the CDA, with a stronger reformed character, as their predecessors refused to work with catholics in the CDA. They base their economic, ecological, and migration policies on their theological principles of charity and stewardship. Similarly, their social policies are based more heavily on the bible, which means they have strong stances on abortion, marriage, and euthanasia. They emphasise their Christian character more strongly than the CDA, but refuse to compromise on principles such as family reunification. This has led to the fall of the Dutch government.
