TSP has been described as a left-wing,^[16] progressive^[2] and pro-Taiwanese independence party,^[1] and is part of the Taiwan independence Left.^[17][18] However, media in opposition to the TSP have also sometimes described it as "not leftist" or even "far-right", criticising it for allegedly being complacent on labour rights issues and only in favour of progressivism but not libertarian socialism.^[19][20]
