Political success has required the ADR to develop positions on all matters of public policy, developing an anti-establishment, conservative platform. It has adopted economic liberalism, filling a gap vacated by the Democratic Party. It is the largest party in Luxembourg to take a euro-realist/softly eurosceptic line, and is a member of the anti-federalist Alliance of Conservatives and Reformists in Europe. The ADR wishes to implement Swiss-style direct democracy. There has been debate whether the party should be classified as populist, although most experts agree that the ADR is better characterised as a national-conservative party.
