[26] On 27 February 2024, he once again suggested it, proposing that members of such a party should at most be an MP for ten years. [27] On 24 June 2024, Boje planned to announce the party as "Denmark's Best Party", but this name was rejected by the Election Board. [28] On 28 August 2024, the party was announced as The Citizens' Party - Lars Boje Mathiesen (Danish : Borgernes Parti - Lars Boje Mathiesen). [29] Already on 16 September 2024, the party had received 10,000 signatures, [30] and on 17 December 2024, it had obtained the 20,195 signatures required to obtain ballot access for the next Danish election. [31] The party formally obtained ballot access on 15 January 2025, [32] and was assigned the party letter H by the Interior Ministry. [33]

The party wants Denmark to have more referendums and to have a constitutional court. Boje also wants to change the wage structure for public employees, and have the party be a party for motorists, by abolishing the registration fees for cars and replacing it with yearly license plate fee. [34] Boje rules out supporting Mette Frederiksen as Prime Minister of Denmark, due to the mink case in 2020. [34]
