Politinė partija „Lietuvos sąrašas“ (LS) is a Lithuanian protest and civic party that sees itself as a moral alternative to the established party system. It serves as a platform for intellectuals and activists who advocate against corruption and for strengthening civil society.

Values and Worldview

The party's foundation is rooted in a profound distrust of the political elite and their pervasive influence over state institutions. LS views the state not as a power apparatus controlled by parties, but as the rightful property of its citizens. Its worldview is shaped by a Christian-humanist understanding of humanity and the ideal of "Res Publica." At its core, the party is driven by the vision of leading Lithuania out of a perceived moral and social crisis through moral renewal, a return to national sovereignty, and the implementation of direct democracy.

Policy Priorities

The agenda prioritizes radical transparency, comprehensive judicial reforms, and a robust fight against oligarchy. LS advocates for greater citizen engagement through referendums and a significant decentralization of power. On social policy, the party champions the protection of the most vulnerable and the preservation of cultural identity. Its target audience includes disillusioned voters, intellectuals, and civil rights advocates who perceive the current system as rigid and unresponsive. LS aims to build a bridge between conservative principles and progressive civic participation.

Role in the Political System

Strategically, LS positions itself as an "anti-party" and a corrective force within Lithuanian democracy. It challenges the institutions of the rule of law by openly criticizing deficiencies in the independence of the judiciary and the media. Its role is that of a critical external voice, often seeking cross-party alliances with other system-critical forces. While respecting fundamental democratic principles, LS strives for a profound transformation of the political landscape, moving away from party dominance towards a participatory civil society.
