The party was considered one of several splinter groups from the Pim Fortuyn List (LPF) party aiming to become the successor of the LPF. Its list for the 2006 election contained former LPF members such as Gerard van As, Paul Meijer and Willem van der Velden.

After a dismal result of the party in the 2006 election, Hilbrand Nawijn stepped down from national politics. The future of the party itself is uncertain.[1]
