The majority of the members of the party were members of the reformist wing of the Francoist Regime, that wanted a "controlled" and moderate democratic transition.

The PP joined the Union of the Democratic Centre (UCD) in 1977, gaining 32 seats in the 1977 Spanish general election.^[3] The party was dissolved in February 1978, fully joining the UCD.^[4]^[5]
