The evolution of the political relevance of the League of Polish Families (2001–2010)

Abstract

League of Polish Families (LPR) achieved great political success against other national parties in 3rd Republic of Poland. The party had representatives in the Polish parliament and government, European Parliament and Voivodeship sejmiks. This success was a result of their political programme, exposing sovereign national policy and consolidation of different parties of Polish national right. Defeat of LPR was caused by ideological and personal conflicts amongst the party’s leaders and between central management and local structures. Those problems led to internal divisions in party and decrease influence of LPR in Polish society.
