The party advocates economic liberalisation and privatisation of the large publicly owned companies that dominate the Greenlandic economy.[2]
The Cooperation Party is in favour of increased cooperation within the unity of the Realm, increased immigration to Greenland and better integration and inclusion of immigrants and minorities.[6] Another main priority for the party is more support for the socially vulnerable, especially sexually abused children and youth.
The party ran in the 2018 Greenlandic parliamentary elections and won one seat with 1,193 votes.[6] In the 2021 elections, the party lost its only seat.[7]
