Ideology
Ideologically, the party's goals are to preserve and uphold Western-Christian civilization, and to dismantle the welfare state.
The party can thus be seen as right-wing (anti-socialistic) national-conservative. It strongly differentiates itself from the National Democratic Party (NPD) and German People's Union (DVU), who tend more towards national-socialism. Its closest ideological ally among the right-wing parties is The Republicans.
