politicians in the Netherlands in the 1960s. Another female member of the House of Representatives was Dr. Frida Katz, who was elected in 1922 and remained a member of parliament after she was married (1937) with baron Mackay and finally resigned as MP in 1941. Relationships to other parties The party's primary ally was the Anti-Revolutionary Party, and through that party it got involved in the coalition with the Catholic parties (General League/RKSP/KVP), although it was opposed to Catholicism as a religion. International comparison As a party for Protestant dissenters of a catholic-Protestant alliance the CHU is a unique phenomenon in international perspective. Its political course which included support of limited government, rejection of universal suffrage and hostility against Catholicism, is comparable to the course of the British Conservative Party in the late 19th century and to some extent American Party of the United States. As a conservative Protestant party, the CHU is very similar to the Scandinavian Christian Democrats (such as the Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and the Finnish Christian Democrats), they are all socially and fiscally conservative, with a social heart. All have their roots in orthodox tendencies within the national church. It also shared similarities in its conservative policy with the current policies of the UK Conservatives (the paternalistic conservative wing of that party, laying much emphasis on the responsibility of the well off to help the less fortunate, without really changing the social fabric of society). Comparing the CHU to an American party is more difficult, but it seemed somewhat close to the moderate wing of the US Republicans (Unlike the US Republicans the CHU was non-egalitarian, rejecting social mobility. - It would also have strongly disliked the current extremist trend within that party.) or the conservative wing of the US Democratic Party. The Left-wing of the CHU held similar ideas as the "Red Tory" (or One-nation conservative) faction within the UK Conservative Party, advocating a limited social welfare state combined with a not too big government and adherence to the monarchy and traditional institutions.
