Ideology
Parempoolsed is a right-of-centre party. Its leaders have repeatedly declared support for Estonia's continued membership of the European Union and its common market. It also claims to oppose "bureaucracy", "populism", and what it views as a recent "left turn" in Estonian politics. It has called for more privatisation and competition in health care, as well as fiscal responsibility and lowering taxation in general. It supports immigration, stating that "conservative policy does not consist in denying immigration", while saying this should be managed "based on the interests of Estonia's economy and security". It also intends to limit "the state's collection of data concerning people's private lives".[6][7]
