The Melitian Christian Parliamentary Alliance (Maltese: L-Alleanza Kristjana Parlamentari ta' Melite), unofficially the CNP/ZA-CNP, is a centre-right to far-right electoral alliance and parliamentary group of two Christian nationalist and regionalist political parties in the Democratic Christian Federation of Melite and the Parliament of Melite: the Christian Nationalist Party of Melite and the Christian Nationalist Party of North Zagoria. It controls the Presidency and the vice presidency and all but one of the state governorates of Melite, thus it is considered as the ruling coalition of Melitian politics and making it the dominant parliamentary group in the Parliament. Both parties in the coalition are right-wing, Christian, and oppose modernist degeneracy.
Factions
Due to the geographic differences of the two parties, there are also de-facto factions. The most notable of these factions are the Zagorian Regionalists and the Maltese Nationalists, however there are also Political Catholic tendencies in the CNP even though the MCPA tries to promote ecumenism. As the ZA-CNP (North Zagoria State) is geographically located in Bulgaria and the CNP (rest of Melite) is in Malta, the main difference between the parties becomes religion, with the federal CNP catering the interests of the Roman Catholic Melitian majority of the population, and the ZA-CNP serving the interests of the Bulgarian Orthodox Melitian minority.
