In launching the party, Rudolf Dorah party president and founder, said:

“Our regional and international development partners are shocked at the stunning truth that despite Solomon Islands being endowed with rich natural resources, yet our nation is among the poorest performing economies in the Pacific region, characterised by poor national infrastructures, poor education infrastructures, poor health and medical services, and unstable political culture” (Solomon Star, 12 March 2010).

The main issues identified by the party include:

  • Increasing rural poverty
  • Deep seated land disputes threatening to wreak havoc on the economy
  • An inappropriate Westminster system that has been abused by MPs for personal gain
  • An unbalanced banking system that serves the rich at the expense of the poor
  • A leadership crisis
  • The threat of climate change.
