The party focuses on individual liberties and intends to change the constitution to abolish political parties, permitting only individuals to stand, each paying their own election deposit and collecting the required number of signatures.[1][2][3] It encourages gun ownership, describing attempts to reduce guns as "in line with the United Nations Agenda 21".[4] It is supportive of homeschooling, and is against the state teaching of sexuality and gender.[5] It describes itself as supportive of parents and says that "The minister of Basic Education declared war on our children when she said that children are a government’s responsibility. We need to ready ourselves for the biggest battle this country has ever seen."[5]
