The FBP is one of the two [[major party|major]] [[List of political parties in Liechtenstein|political parties in Liechtenstein]], along with the [[liberal-conservative]] [[Patriotic Union (Liechtenstein)|Patriotic Union]]. Founded in 1918 along with the now-defunct [[Christian-Social People's Party (Liechtenstein)|Christian-Social People's Party]], it is the oldest [[wikt:extant|extant]] party in Liechtenstein.<ref>{{cite web|title=History|url=http://www.liechtenstein.li/index.php?id=15%20board&L=1|work=Fürstentum Liechtenstein|publisher=Government of Liechtenstein Marketing|access-date=13 February 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140221195433/http://www.liechtenstein.li/index.php?id=15%20board&L=1|archive-date=21 February 2014}}</ref>

==History==
The party was established in 1918 by middle class citizens and members of the agricultural community as a response to the formation of the [[Christian-Social People's Party (Liechtenstein)|Christian-Social People's Party]] (VP).<ref name=VM>Vincent E McHale (1983) ''Political parties of Europe'', Greenwood Press, p609 {{ISBN|0-313-23804-9}}</ref> In addition to being linked to the commercial and rural environment, the party was also firmly anchored in the [[clergy]]. It won the majority of the elected the [[1918 Liechtenstein general election|1918 elections]],<ref name=NS>[[Dieter Nohlen|Nohlen, D]] & Stöver, P (2010) ''Elections in Europe: A data handbook'', p1182 {{ISBN|978-3-8329-5609-7}}</ref> but the VP formed a government following the [[November 1918 Liechtenstein putsch]].<ref name=V1>McHale, p611</ref>

The VP won elections in [[1922 Liechtenstein general election|1922]], [[January 1926 Liechtenstein general election|January 1926]] and [[April 1926 Liechtenstein general election|April 1926]], but the FBP won the [[1928 Liechtenstein general election|1928 elections]], and became the party of government until 1938,<ref name=V1/> with [[Josef Hoop]] serving as prime minister until 1945. In 1938 the FBP allowed the [[Patriotic Union (Liechtenstein)|Patriotic Union]] (VU) to join it in a coalition government. The two parties governed in coalition until the [[1997 Liechtenstein general election|1997 elections]],<ref name=N2>Nohlen & Stöver, p1157</ref> after which the Patriotic Union formed a government. The FBP won the [[2001 Liechtenstein general election|2001 elections]] and its leader [[Otmar Hasler]] became prime minister. Following the [[2005 Liechtenstein general election|2005 elections]] the coalition was renewed,<ref name=N2/> with Hasler remaining prime minister. The VU's [[Klaus Tschütscher]] held the post between [[2009 Liechtenstein general election|2009]] and [[2013 Liechtenstein general election|2013]], after which FBP leader [[Adrian Hasler]] became prime minister.

In the [[2017 Liechtenstein general election|2017 state election]], the FBP lost 4.8% of the vote and was awarded only nine of the 25 seats. However, it remained the party with the most votes in the state parliament, as the Patriotic Union only gained slightly and still had eight Landtag members.<ref>{{Cite news |date=7 February 2017 |title=The 2017 elections in Liechtenstein: Slight changes and a stronger parliamentary opposition |url=https://whogoverns.eu/the-2017-elections-in-liechtenstein-slight-changes-and-a-stronger-parliamentary-opposition/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://archive.today/20200811170655/https://whogoverns.eu/the-2017-elections-in-liechtenstein-slight-changes-and-a-stronger-parliamentary-opposition/ |archive-date=11 August 2020 |access-date=11 August 2020 |work=Party Systems & Governments Observatory}}</ref>

In the [[2021 Liechtenstein general election|2021 state elections]], Adrian Hasler and government councilor [[Mauro Pedrazzini]] (also a FBP member) decided not to run for government again after eight years. With [[Sabine Monauni]], the FBP nominated a woman as prime minister candidate for the state elections for the first time. The party nominated [[Katrin Eggenberger]] and Manuel Frick as further candidates for the government. 

The FBP won 35.9% of the votes in the 2021 state elections and won 10 seats in the Landtag. Mathematically, the FBP was elected by around 100 voters (0.6%) more. The discrepancy arose from the fact that the voters in the [[Oberland (electoral district)|Oberland]], with 15 votes per ballot paper, had a higher weight on the total party vote result than the voters in the [[Unterland (electoral district)|Unterland]] with ten votes per person. Voter turnout was stable at 78.0%. The FBP and VU formed a coalition government, which appointed Monauni as deputy prime minister.<ref name="en8-2-21">{{cite news |date=8 February 2021 |title=Liechtenstein election: Just 23 ballots separate two biggest parties |url=https://www.euronews.com/2021/02/08/liechtenstein-election-just-23-ballots-separate-two-biggest-parties-that-will-now-form-coa |access-date=9 February 2021 |work=[[Euronews]] |language=en}}</ref> If she had become prime minister, she would have been the first female to hold the position.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Daragahi |first1=Borzou |date=9 February 2021 |title=Liechtenstein's women only got the vote in 1984.

In the [[2025 Liechtenstein general election|2025 elections]], former [[President of the Landtag of Liechtenstein|president of the landtag]] [[Ernst Walch]] was the party's candidate for prime minister.

== Ideology and policy ==
The FBP tends to be conservative on social/cultural issues. As for economic issues, it is [[Economic liberalism|economically liberal]] but also claims to follow a [[social market economy]] policy.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web |title=Unser Selbstverständnis |url=https://www.fbp.li/unser-selbstverstaendnis |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230329133655/https://www.fbp.li/unser-selbstverstaendnis |archive-date=29 March 2023 |access-date=30 June 2023 |publisher=FBP |language=de}}</ref> The party states its policies are based on [[Christianity|Christian]] values such as solidarity, respect and justice.<ref name=":0" /> It also advocates a dualistic form of government, claiming to support both the [[Monarchy of Liechtenstein|monarchy]] and the people as sovereigns.<ref name=":0" />

=== Women's rights ===

{{See also|Women in the FBP}}
The FBP was an early proponent of the introduction of [[women's suffrage]] to Liechtenstein, starting in 1970. However, two separate referendums on the issue were rejected by male-only voters in [[1971 Liechtenstein women's suffrage referendum|1971]] and [[1973 Liechtenstein referendums#Women's suffrage|1973]] respectively.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Frick |first=Julia |date=31 December 2011 |title=Frauenstimm- und -wahlrecht |url=https://historisches-lexikon.li/Frauenstimm-_und_-wahlrecht |access-date=7 December 2024 |website=[[Historisches Lexikon des Fürstentums Liechtenstein]] |language=de}}</ref> The Women in the FBP group was founded in September 1982 to represent women's issues within the party, and also to further advocate for the introduction of women's suffrage.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |last=Frick |first=Julia |date=31 December 2011 |title=Frauen in der FBP |url=https://historisches-lexikon.li/Frauen_in_der_FBP?marker=FBP |access-date=7 December 2024 |website=[[Historisches Lexikon des Fürstentums Liechtenstein]] |language=de}}</ref> The party then again proposed the issue to the [[Landtag of Liechtenstein]] in December 1983 and again in April 1984.<ref name=":1" /> Following a [[1984 Liechtenstein women's suffrage referendum|successful referendum]] (among men only) in July 1984, women's suffrage was introduced to Liechtenstein.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2 July 1984 |title=AROUND THE WORLD; Liechtenstein Women Win Right to Vote |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1984/07/02/world/around-the-world-liechtenstein-women-win-right-to-vote.html |access-date=21 April 2023 |work=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref>
