History
The party was established in 1925, and won two seats in the 2nd Saeima elections of 1925. It was reduced to a single seat in the 1928 elections, which it retained in the 1931 elections of 4th Saeima.
Ideology
The party held similar views to the Landlords' Party in neighbouring Estonia, supporting a classical capitalist economic policy and advocating private property rights. It usually sat in the Saeima alongside the National Union and Christian National Union and some Latgalian parties, in a grouping known as the "National Bloc".
