In the 2008 Lithuanian parliamentary election, it became one of the largest parties in the Tenth Seimas of Lithuania, but quickly lost popularity, disintegrated and merged with the Liberal and Centre Union in 2011.
Arūnas Valinskas, Lithuanian producer and media personality, first announced the idea of forming a party for "resurrection" in April 2008.
From the beginning, the TPP was described as a "showmen's party", as many of its initial members were TV personalities and representatives of the media industry, much like Valinskas himself.
However, in spite of fielding numerous media personalities known to the Lithuanian public, it only won 3 additional seats in the second round of the single-member constituency elections.
[12] While Vilkaitis was accepted, the nomination of Burkšas was highly controversial due to his approval of numerous illegal constructions in the Curonian Spit, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a national park, and was blocked by Prime Minister Andrius Kubilius.
[20] As a result, the party's parliamentary group withdrew its confidence on its own ministers and threatened with departure from the coalition.
[24] Around the same time, both Valinskas and Dinius were targeted by rumors - Dinius and the remaining TPP parliamentary group were accused of being influenced by businessman Gediminas Žiemelis, who pushed for the group to claim the Ministry of Transport and Communications to support his private interests, while Valinskas was accused of ties with "the Doctors" (Lithuanian: Daktarai), an organized crime ring in Kaunas, led by Henrikas Daktaras [lt].
[28] After the loss of the Christian Party deputies, the remaining members of the TPP began preparing for a merger with the Liberal and Centre Union, and formed a joint group in the Seimas.
A new program was drafted which affirmed commitment to responsible liberalism and the party's intent to represent a "third way" in Lithuanian politics.
Its program in the 2008 Lithuanian parliamentary election was a word play on the Ten Commandments without any commitment to policy: It has been described as a personalist party of Arūnas Valinskas, with no political positions of its own.
