The NSi's foundation rests on the pillars of Christian social teaching and classical European conservatism. The party views individuals as self-reliant, yet firmly rooted in traditional structures such as family and faith communities. Its understanding of the state is subsidiary: the government should only intervene where private initiative proves insufficient. The NSi emphasizes Slovenia's national identity within a Christian-influenced Europe and advocates for a moral renewal of society based on Christian ethics.
NSi's economic agenda is staunchly liberal, advocating for lower taxes, reduced bureaucracy, and the privatization of state-owned enterprises to boost competitiveness. On social policy, it adopts a value-conservative stance, championing the protection of unborn life and promoting the traditional nuclear family. Its target demographic primarily includes entrepreneurs, practicing Christians, and the rural and small-town middle class. The party aims to establish Slovenia as a modern, efficient economic hub guided by a strong moral compass.
Within the Slovenian party system, the NSi occupies the role of a reliable, moderate partner on the right spectrum. While often serving as a junior partner in conservative coalitions, it seeks to distinguish itself from more populist forces through pragmatic and constructive governance. It is considered a pillar of the state, defending the institutions of the rule of law and transatlantic ties. Its strategic dilemma lies in differentiating itself from larger right-wing parties, positioning itself as the intellectual and economically liberal alternative.
