Mette Lynge represented the party in the Naalakkersuisut (Government) and was minister for dwellings, nature and environment.

At the 2014 Greenlandic general election, the party did not win any seats in parliament.

The law guaranteed foreign workers' right to strike and a local minimum wage, but allowed companies to deduct insurance and food costs from their pay, giving them an effectively much lower salary.

It won two seats in the 2013 general elections and formed part of Aleqa Hammond's coalition government.
