    The New Flemish Alliance (Dutch: Nieuw-Vlaamse Alliantie [ˌniu ˈvlaːmsə ʔɑliˈjɑn(t)si] ⓘ, N-VA) is a Flemish nationalist,[7][8] conservative,[13] and liberal-conservative[14][15][16] political party in Belgium. The party was established in 2001 by the right-leaning faction of the centrist-nationalist People’s Union (VU).[17]

    Politically, De Wever has described himself as a conservative and a Flemish nationalist.[62] He is an avowed admirer of Edmund Burke and his political philosophy, and has described British conservative writer and social critic Theodore Dalrymple, former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and Austrian economist Friedrich Hayek as influences.[63]
