It is led by Andrus Ansip, and has 19 out of 101 seats in the State Council. The party has been in a coalition government several times: from 1995 to 1997 with the now defunct Estonian Coalition Party, from March, 1999 to December, 2001 in tripartite government with the Fatherland Union and People's Party Moderates, from January, 2002 to March, 2003 with the Estonian Centre Party, and from March 2003 to March, 2005 with Res Publica and People's Union. Ansip has been prime minister of Estonia since April, 2005, and several other cabinet members, including Urmas Paet, are members of the party. Ideologically, the Reform Party is representative of the liberal conservative and libertarian thinking of economists Friedrich von Hayek and Milton Friedman. Up to now, the Reform Party has participated in most of the government coalitions in Estonia, so its influence in politics has been great, especially regarding Estonia's business friendly economic policy and conservative fiscal policy.
