The party formerly had two members of local city councils, one in Viborg and one in Lejre.

The main issues of Fokus were environmental and energy policy, as well as animal welfare.

Another important issue was social welfare, and the party persistently emphasized the need for more balance everywhere in society, not least between the bigger cities and smaller communities in the countryside, an issue which has become increasingly debated in Denmark since 2010, especially with respect to health policy.

Although taking a regionalist stance on many issues, Fokus wanted to close down the regions (administrative entities on the level between state and municipalities) and let the state take over responsibility for hospitals, which are currently run by these regions.

The slogan of Fokus is (in Danish) Frihed, Omsorg, Kommunikation, Udholdenhed, Samarbejde (Freedom, Care, Communication, Persistence, Cooperation).
