The party's leader was [[Preben Møller Hansen]], writer, cook, and leader of the [[Danish sailorsSeamens' unionUnion]], who was expelled from the [[Communist Party of Denmark]] in 1979. He was known for his outspoken way of expressing himself, frequently using [[swearwordsswear words]], making broad generalizations and [[anti-elitism|anti-elitist]] statements. The party itself gathered both communists and left-wing socialists, united in an inveterate struggle against EU[[Denmark and the European Union|Denmark's membership]] of the [[European Communities]]. ItsThe party's official immigration policy was quite restrictive, contrary to other parties on the left.
