The party wanted to abolish governmental monopolies like Mjólkursamsalan (MS) and ÁTVR, the State Alcohol & Tobacco Company.[4] It also rejected the idea of Iceland joining the European Union, although it wished to put the issue to a referendum.[3][4] The Right-Green party rolled out plans to replace the Icelandic króna while rejecting the euro, choosing instead to introduce a new currency, the Ríkisdalur (named after Iceland's historical currency, prior to the króna), which would be pegged to the US dollar.
The party advocated the introduction of a 20% flat tax, halt further increases in spending and freeze public hiring for at least four years. It also supported the immediate abolition of customs duties, import tariffs and excise taxes. It also had a nature conservation agenda and called for better protection of Icelandic nature.
