The Democrats (Greenlandic: Demokraatit [temokʁaːt͡sit]; Danish: Demokraterne) is a liberal, unionist political party in Greenland.
The party is skeptical of Greenlandic independence and even further self-governance. It has taken over this position from the Atassut party, which has developed towards favouring more autonomy.[5] Two of the major priorities in its programme are improving educational standards and the housing situation.[2]
