In 1998, it adopted a policy of full independence from Denmark as part of a coalition deal in which leader Anfinn Kallsberg became PM. Throughout the decades, it has formed formed coalition governments with all Faroese political parties except for Framsókn, with its latest term in government lasting until 2022.

The party was a member of the European Conservatives and Reformists Party until 2022. The party is affiliated to the International Democrat Union.
