Georgian Idea (Georgian: ქართული იდეა, romanized: kartuli idea) was a far-right political party in Georgia. It was founded by Levan Chachua in 2014 and took part in 2016 and 2020 elections, both times missing the electoral threshold to be granted representation in the parliament. In 2024, the leading positions in the party were granted to the members of far-right Alt-Info movement, following their party Conservative Movement being deregistered by Central Election Commission of Georgia. However, on 26 April 2024, prior to the 2024 Georgian parliamentary election, the CEC suspended the electoral registration of the Georgian Idea as well, effectively banning it from the elections, after which both Georgian Idea and Conservative Movement merged with the Alliance of Patriots of Georgia.
The group has described themselves as the voice of Georgian Orthodox Christians and as adhering to traditional Christian values. It has been placed on the radical far-right of the political spectrum. The party additionally supports the restoration of the monarchy in Georgia. In foreign policy, it supports building alliances with Russia based on religious ties and opposes the European integration.
