Different factions have dominated the Independence Party at different times, although over the past 80 years it has moved from the right-wing more towards the centre. The party advocates economic liberalism such as a reduction of taxes, deregulation, and free trade. The party defines itself as a "conservative party of progress". The party generally supports semi-privatization through state-funded private services, reduced taxes, LGB rights, and tougher law and order measures. Abortion remains a contentious issue within the party, although most members oppose repealing the current ban. The party opposes immigration from non-Western countries, but also advocates for an inclusive civic nationalism.
