Detailed proposed amendments to Finance Acts have shown the coherence of the party's policy down to the last krone. Many Bills proposed by the Progress Party have been copied by other parties and subsequently passed. The party has participated in the passing of all tax and duty concessions over the years. For example, in 1990 the Progress Party had the detested interest tax abolished along with a large number of duties, etc. against voting for a Budget. The object of the Progress Party is to work to create a society in which the personal freedom of all citizens is protected optimally.
Personal freedom exists when any person can live free from coercion and intervention by others.
The Progress Party is opposed to the use of coercion and intervention in order to achieve political objectives. The most important task of the State and the public authorities is firstly to ensure that no one infringes the rights of others and secondly that everyone can live free from coercion and intervention from others. It is not the State's task or duty to deal with the affairs of individuals, families, associations, companies, schools, churches or cultural affairs or, for that matter, the affairs of any other peaceful institutions in society. The main task of the Progress Party is the dismantling of the Welfare State and the Public Trustee State. The political process means that we are forced to do certain things.
