Deputies

All deputies were elected on the United Right list

Ideology

The group has been referred to as a pro-European [4] "deputy ministers union" due to their apparent lack of political ideology and the fact that all but one of their MPs were deputy ministers in the Second Cabinet of Mateusz Morawiecki. [5] The association is supposed to unveil their political program in the middle of November. [6] Ociepa stated that "the main five priorities of the party are security, economy, self-government, European policy and health policy, with a special opening to the young generation". [7]
