It is more economically left-wing than the IDP but also libertarian in many aspects as well as socially more right-wing.

Foundation
The DPP split from the Independent Democracy Party in February, 2021 due to ideological disagreements among its members. The split was largely motivated by Beady's, the leader of the IDP, failure to place many of his own party members on the IDP list in favor of political acolytes who were required to vote in-favor of bills that he supported. Other motivations included the IDP's stances on drugs, marriage and the Universal Basic Income.
