Vittorio Sgarbi joined the party in December 1995 and became its vice-president, while Miglio and Giovine served as president and secretary, respectively.

Miglio's goal was for it to be an anti-party and represents single-issue politics, to be disbanded as soon as a federal or confederal Italian Republic had been achieved.

Miglio was elected senator in his single-seat constituency in Como with the support of the Pole for Freedoms as Giovine, the party's secretary, did in Lodi.

In 1997, the Federalist Party formed joint lists with the Union of the Centre at the local level and continued its approachment with Forza Italia.
