It supports the monarchy and democratic institutions, advocates attracting skilled immigrants, and is in favour of a strong military for defensive purposes. The party is also in favour of legalising marijuana only for medicinal purposes.

The party has also been described as green conservative. It supports the introduction of a carbon tax and an emissions trading scheme, while also advocating the protection of wildlife areas and the increase of biodiversity.

Like many liberal conservative parties in Europe the CU also supports gay rights and has a moderate stance on abortion.
