Ideology
The RPP supports classical social democratic policies. To that rule, the SP stands for a government offering strong public services. The SP is against far-reaching economic liberalism, in favor of social progressivism, environmental policy with climate change mitigation, for an open foreign policy, and a national security policy based on pacifism and anti-imperialism.
The RPP also stands for a less strict neutrality of Itsch, and supports increased international efforts on the part of Itsch in the areas of peace and human rights. However, the RPP supports keeping the military neutrality and opposes entry into NATO. Its pacifist stance is also reflected in its military policy: The RPP supports reducing the number of Itsch militia while making the military apparatus more professional and scrapping conscription.
