Group of Eighteen
The Group of Eighteen was a series of meetings of the Dutch political parties Christian Historical Union, the Anti-Revolutionary Party, and the Catholic People's Party to explore the possibility of cooperation and ultimately forming a single Christian people's party. The first meeting took place on 24 April 1967 and the last on 22 September 1969. The discussions contributed to the formation of the Christian Democratic Appeal in 1980.
