[3] Shortly after foundation, the party was accused of being staffed by former communist civil servants,[9] which was aggravated by Tymiński's remarks such as his support for the martial law in Poland from 1981 to 1983.

[9] The party then participated in the 1993 parliamentary elections and received 2.7% of the vote, but failed to win a seat due to the newly-implemented 5% electoral threshold.

After failing to win enough seats to register his candidacy in the 1995 presidential elections, Tymiński stepped down as the party leader.

An outsider without any political background, Tymiński won over a large part of the electorate with his effective criticism of the elite and vague promises.

"[1] Using television advertisement and populist rhetoric, Tymiński styled himself as a patriot and a "billionaire who would sacrifice everything for the good of the Fatherland".

As a dark horse candidate and a Pole who "made it" abroad, Tymiński appealed to non-voters, young people as well as students, small businessmen and the unemployed.

[10] Polish magazine Wprost claimed that most members of the party were men aged 50–60 and one-in-three were former communist civil servants.

The populist rhetoric of the party went as far as arguing that Poland is embroiled in a "civil war" between the enfranchised elites and the public.

Similarly, Party X stated that given the strength of the German economy, giving it free access to the Polish one would result in "economical age-old Drang nach Osten".

The party was also accused of antisemitic appeals, most notably through the term "udekomuna" which originated from the Jewish minority in Poland.

[4] Emphasizing its populist, anti-establishment and outsider identity, the party described itself as the "third force" that was above the contemporary divides of Polish politics and society.

It emphasised protectionism and criticised the need to trade and integrate Poland into the market of either the West or Russia, proposing the 'third way' of Polish economic independence instead.

The party spoke of "labour capitalism" that would be established through building an economy based solely on small holders.

"[2] Amongst proposed reforms, the party listed: more flexible exchange rate of the dollar, selective privatisation through "employee-owned companies", strategic planning, guided migration from regions with high unemployment, the development of housing, equality of sectors, forcing reinvestment of profits, a tax on bank earnings and the dismantling of the bureaucracy.

The party also called for a program of 'modernisation' that was to be carried out through native Polish capital and reject the presence of foreign companies.

[10][9] This accusation escalated following Tymiński's controversial remarks, such as his praise for Wojciech Jaruzelski, the First Secretary of the Polish United Workers' Party between 1981 and 1989 who imposed a brutal and bloody martial law in Poland between 1981 and 1983.

Tymiński argued that "Independence can only be saved by a war campaign plan that will mobilise Poles for an export invasion of the West" and that "it is necessary to attack in an offensive-partisan manner the weakest points of the Western markets".
