The party advocates economic liberalism such as a reduction of taxes, deregulation, and free trade.

Since then, the party has firmly pushed economic liberalism and has aligned itself closely to the promotion of free markets and privatization. It is strongly opposed to political and internet censorship. The party also supports certain socially liberal policies like LGBT rights.

Social Democrats

The Social Democrats are a left-wing political party in Hverland that has been described as an alliance of democratic socialists, communists, and secularists. Their platform emphasizes greater state intervention, social justice, strengthening workers' rights, and, unlike most other political parties in Hverland, supports the formal separation of church and state. Since the 1990's the ideals of diversity and social justice have also taken a prominent role.

They have no seats in the Rokthing.
