Democratic Movement – United Georgia

The party favored closer ties with both Russia and the European Union while maintaining and expanding many of the government's economic and social reform initiatives.

The party proposed to reject Georgia's prospective NATO membership by enshrining "non-bloc status" and military neutrality in the constitution.

To this end, the party's leader Nino Burjanadze visited the Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow several times, the most recently in 2019.

While the party supported enhancing cooperation with the European Union, it considered the Georgia's proposed EU membership only theoretical and long-term objective.

[12][13] In domestic politics, the party argued for strengthening democratic institutions, replacing military conscription with the contract-based service, imposing progressive tax system, reducing taxes for small businesses, banning foreign ownership of Georgian land, setting term limits for judges, allowing private arbitrate to settle economic disputes, bringing officials from Saakashvili administration to responsibility for "drawing Georgia into the 2008 war with Russia", increasing pension and minimum wage, decriminalizing drug use, banning banks from selling the only residential place without giving a share to incapable family members, introducing six-month unemployment benefits and "mother's salary", curbing immigration, protecting traditional values and fighting against "propaganda of homosexuality and incest".
