Ahead of the 2013 legislative election they teamed up with the new liberal NEOS party,[1] with JuLis chairperson Nikolaus Scherak entering the Austrian parliament.

Ahead of the European elections 2009 in Austria, they, rather than LIF, received support and the required signature by Austrian MEP Karin Resetarits, who stated that the program of the Young Liberals was better.

Due to formal reasons, the JuLis were not able to compete in the elections to the Austrian Students' Association (German: ÖH) in 2009 and were subsequently not represented in the period 2009-2011.

Out of several dozen contestants, the JuLis were the only ones in favour of a system of deferred tuition fees, citing the inadequate studying conditions and extremely high dropout quotes in Austria’s public universities, which have a longstanding tradition of free and unrestricted education for everyone holding the matura.
