The party advocates economic liberalisation and privatisation of the large publicly owned companies that dominate the Greenlandic economy.[2]
The Cooperation Party is in favour of increased cooperation within the unity of the Realm, increased immigration to Greenland and better integration and inclusion of immigrants and minorities.[6] Another main priority for the party is more support for the socially vulnerable, especially sexually abused children and youth.
The party ran in the 2018 Greenlandic parliamentary elections; it won one seat with 1,193 votes.[6] In the 2021 elections, the party lost its only seat.[7]
