It contested one election only, the 2009 local elections. In the Fingal County Council election, John Wolfe stood in the Howth–Malahide local electoral area.[2] He received 1,319 votes (5.9%) but was not elected.[3] The party had hoped to run candidates at the 2011 general election, but did not register to take part in national elections.

In December 2014, the registrar of political parties proposed to cancel its registration.[4] As of 2015, it was no longer a registered political party.
