The Patriotic Union (German: Vaterländische Union, VU) is a liberal-conservative political party in Liechtenstein.[6] The VU is one of the two major political parties in Liechtenstein, along with the monarchist conservative Progressive Citizens' Party (FBP). The VU is the relatively more liberal of the two parties, advocating constitutional monarchy and greater democracy.[12][13] It is led by Thomas Zwiefelhofer and has ten members in the Landtag.
