[13] Ideologically, the party declares to stand for and strictly adhere to "national, cultural and Christian values born out of the over a thousand-year history of the Polish State".

The ONP-LP is inspired by and claims to be a successor of the liberal democratic Polish émigré organisation Liga Polska [pl], founded in Switzerland by Zygmunt Miłkowski following the failure of the January Uprising.

[5] On 24 February 2001, a founding congress was held with the participation of delegates from Poland, Western Europe and North and South America.

The creation of party structures began in the country, as well as abroad (in Norway, Chicago, France, Switzerland, Australia and Canada).

In 2001, attempts by the party to co-operate with Stronnictwo Narodowe activists failed, and they subsequently formed Liga Polskich Rodzin [pl].

The party argued that the European Union is dominated by Germany, and that Poland is an inferior member that will be exploited by the much wealthier Western countries.

- what followed was economic collapse, growing corruption at the highest levels of state leadership, further theft of national assets, robbery and all the symptoms of bankruptcy.

The Patriotic Front was heavily critical of the 1990s reforms that transitioned Poland to a capitalist free market economy, arguing that while the Polish governments of the 1990s promised a "free, prosperous and democratic Poland", the reforms instead resulted in massive unemployment, loss of social rights, poverty, the collapse of health service and wealth inequality.

[23] The alliance proposed policies such as taxation of 'excessive wealth', increasing the minimum wage, restoring the social benefits of the communist Poland, and state control of the economy.

[23] In August 2004, the party attracted controversy by defending and claiming the innocence of Polish Catholic priest Henryk Jankowski, who was accused of child sexual abuse.

Some political proposals put forward during the congress including developing the mining industry in Silesia, improving the health service in Poland, and allocating additional funding to education.

[35] In 2010, the party attended the funeral of Stefan Melak, Polish activist and journalist who died in the Smolensk air disaster.

Before the local elections in 2014, the party was supposed to set up a joint committee with Self-Defence Rebirth, but the agreement was ultimately not reached.

In the parliamentary elections in 2015, party member Jerzy Strzelecki ran for the Senate in Ostrołęka district on behalf of the Citizens for Parliament committee, coming third out of 4 candidates (he received 18,107 votes, i.e.

In the parliamentary elections in 2019, party member Adam Bednarczyk opened the Action of Disappointed Retirees and Pensioners list in the Siedlce district, receiving 398 votes.

[9] The party supports and proposed additional funding for Catholic media such as Radio Maryja, praises the Polish interwar Sanacja regime and advocates constitutional reforms based on the 1935 Polish constitution, and supports additional vetting laws against former communist officials (known as lustration) and stressed the need to fight anti-Polonism abroad.

It also calls for nationalised agriculture, and proposes a protectionist package that would protect Polish farmers from competitive markets.

The party also wants to introduce a law that would prohibit the sale of Polish land to foreign legal persons and organisations.

[42] The party is critical of the free market and capitalism with powerful private sector, believing that the free market sees "the human being as an object, a necessary factor for economic effects" and promotes "the consumerist treatment of the world, the disregard for the natural needs of man and the materialistic conception of reality".

The party proposed founding state-funded youth organisations abroad, together with projects that would promote Polish literature and education.

In 2005, the ONP-LP condemned the League of Polish Families for the attacks and noted its association with antisemitic figures such as Jan Kobylański.

For example, Maciej Giertych spread lies that the Polish League of 1887, as well as the founder of the Polish-Polish ONP-LP and its members, were Freemasons.

One of the statements of the Patriotic Front repeated by ONP-LP argued that "globalism is the highest stage of capitalism and imperialism, based on the dominance of private property".

[22] The Patriotic Front opposed the 1990s reforms that transitioned Poland to a capitalist free market economy, arguing that while the Polish governments of the 1990s promised a "free, prosperous and democratic Poland", the reforms instead resulted in massive unemployment, loss of social rights, poverty, the collapse of health service and wealth inequality.

The alliance proposed policies such as taxation of 'excessive wealth', increasing the minimum wage, restoring the social benefits of the communist Poland, and state control of the economy.

The ONP-LP claimed that Poland has become a "market of cheap labour" in the EU, as well as "a slum of Europe and a laundry for dirty money".

As an alternative to the EU, the ONP-LP promotes a policy of neutrality where Poland would seek good relations with both the Western countries as well as Eastern ones like China and Russia, instead of aligning itself with the interests of a single bloc.
