The party is claimed to be liberal, but has been accused of being affiliated with exiled cleric Fethullah Gülen.

Despite Karslı's claims that up to 15 smaller political parties were thinking of merging with the party amongst talk of MP defections, it has no seats in the National Assembly, after it received 0.05% of the vote in the June 2015 election and did not contest the subsequent November 2015 election.

It was previously represented by a single member in the parliament; Ercan Cengiz who resigned from the Republican People's Party (CHP) on 25 January 2015.

The party's economic policy is based on independence from the International Monetary Fund, the simplification of the tax system and the elimination of poverty.

The party is strongly against Turkey's accession to the European Union, claiming that the EU has failed to assist Turkey in fighting the PKK separatist organisation.
