Positions
According to themselves, they are non-ideological. Instead, they choose to let their positions be determined by three factors. The members of their party and minority all have a connection to Denmark and Northern Europe. They all come from a minority. And they are all young. From these three circumstances, they deduce the four key principles they use to determine their position on a given matter:
- Because of their situation as a minority, they defend the right of every human being to choose one's own path.
- Because of their attachment to Northern Europe, they desire to establish a welfare state in Schleswig-Holstein and Germany as the ones found in Scandinavia.
- Because of their situation as a minority, they are very attached to the region wherein they live (as opposed to those parts of Germany where the minority rights of the Danish population group do not apply), and wish to see it developed together with its old Danish counterpart, Northern Schleswig.
- And because of their youth and their attachment to their home region, they wish to have the state actively defend the environment.

Famous quotes containing the word positions:
“An ... important antidote to American democracy is American gerontocracy. The positions of eminence and authority in Congress are allotted in accordance with length of service, regardless of quality. Superficial observers have long criticized the United States for making a fetish of youth. This is unfair. Uniquely among modern organs of public and private administration, its national legislature rewards senility.”
—John Kenneth Galbraith (b. 1908)
“The season developed and matured. Another year’s installment of flowers, leaves, nightingales, thrushes, finches, and such ephemeral creatures, took up their positions where only a year ago others had stood in their place when these were nothing more than germs and inorganic particles. Rays from the sunrise drew forth the buds and stretched them into long stalks, lifted up sap in noiseless streams, opened petals, and sucked out scents in invisible jets and breathings.”
—Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
“Extreme positions are not succeeded by moderate ones, but by contrary extreme positions.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
