A supporter of Mohammad Khatami’s reform program,[3] it is reportedly based on a platform of socially oriented programs and "protecting the rights of the workers and laborers".[1]

The party has been described as either "Islamic left"[6][7][8][9] or centrist[10] within the Iranian political spectrum. It is also classified as associated with the "republican right" faction, which deals with a platform on modernization and economic growth rather than social justice, along with the Moderation and Development Party and the Executives of Construction Party.[11] The latter is considered a historic ally of the party.[1]
