The Christian-Social People's Party (German: Christlich-Soziale Volkspartei, CSV), often shortened to simply the People's Party (German: Volkspartei, VP), was a social liberal political party in Liechtenstein.[1] It tended to be more popular in the Oberland, and supported closer ties with Switzerland as opposed to Austria. Founded in 1918, the Christian-Social People's Party and the Progressive Citizens' Party (FBP) were the first political parties in Liechtenstein.[2]
