The most prominent issue is national security and the threats posed by Russia, stressing the necessity of being prepared for various risk scenarios. The political stance is strongly value-based and takes a firm stand against the naive idea of granting voting rights to Russian citizens or holders of the so-called 'grey passport' (stateless residents). Support is also expressed for the State of Israel, and it is emphasized that Estonia must be protected above all else.

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary session
The political position is strongly oppositional, focusing on criticizing the government's actions in energy and social policy. The primary issues are the impoverishment of citizens due to subsidized energy projects and tax increases, as well as the demographic crisis that the government is failing to resolve. Criticism is directed at both procedural aspects (decisions being made by three leaders) and substantive aspects (undermining the sense of security for families).

15th Riigikogu, 5th session, plenary sitting

Concern is also expressed regarding youth cyber defense and the lowering of the voting age to 16, which calls the statesmanship of the move into question. The political framework is value-based, emphasizing responsibility and community security.
