Wikipedia - is as always - doing a great job at gathering info and they wrote down what the party's policies are.
IMHO what they propose makes no sense:
How is that economy supposed to work? Where do you get the money from to finance this? Who should offset the missing work?
A $500k donation can bankroll your party for some time but certainly not an entire country...
I don't know about the rest of your questions, but generally there wont be much missing work. Unemployment is rising thanks to automation and AI, and a lot of work is bullshit busy-work anyway.
With a lot of upheaval and confusion in the interim, I truly believe we could cut working hours by 50% and still be basically fine.
You can't cut working hours if you get rid of all the immigrants doing the "busy-work".
