Economically the party supports an increase in state intervention. It advocates the implementation of a mixed economy with a strong emphasis on public ownership of essential industries. It seeks to invest tax money into sectors of the economy which need additional funding, and supports the implementation of a strong co-operative sector, as well as workplace democracy.

Socially the party advocates for a strong welfare state with free higher education, a national health service and a stable state funded pensions scheme. It supports the creation of a progressive society and is a strong advocate of social justice across racial, sexual and class boundaries.

Politically the party advocates for transparency in government and the implementation of a non-partisan civil service. It is anti-corruption, and seeks stronger laws to control collaboration between the state and private sector at the expense of the general public.

The party has a strong protectionist and civic nationalist base, advocating for state sovereignty and cooperation between all the nations of Terra, but not at the expense of the Istalian people. The party is anti-intervention, and seeks to achieve change abroad through political, social and economic cooperation rather than through violence.

Party Logo
The electoral logo of Sinistra Istaliana is a dark red rounded triangle with a white chevron in the upper right hand corner at 45° and the letter S with an exclamation mark both in white in the bottom left hand corner. The chevron indicates economic growth and a stable economy. The lettering has many different meanings. The S! stands for both "Sinistra!", "Left" in Istalian, and for "Servi!" from the party's slogan "Servi il Popolo!" (Serve the People). The exclamation mark can also be read as the inverted "i" as in Sinistra Istaliana, with its inverted nature indicating Istalia being turned upside down via radical progressive changes.
