Politics
According to the party's website, the party has three key issues:- To increase funding for healthcare and education by increasing the total number of annual working hours. It argues that the age of retirement should be raised, early retirement benefits should be abolished, and the length of time one is eligible to receive unemployment benefits should be shortened.
- Fewer prohibitions and regulations.
- More skilled immigrants should come to Denmark. The party wants to abolish the so-called "24 year rule" and the attachment requirement, thus making it easier to take up residence in Denmark. However, immigrants should only gain free access to benefits such as healthcare after a length of time and should always respect Danish values.
