The party was established by two Belfast City Council councillors, David M. Riddelsdell and Robert Lindsay Mason.[1] Mason was effective leader from the group's establishment in 1971[2] whilst Riddelsdell acted as party secretary.[1] The party's two representatives lost their Council seats in the 1973 election when they ran as part of wider Ulster loyalist coalition groups.[3] With no elected representatives the party effectively disappeared in 1974 when the National Front expanded its operations in Northern Ireland and Mason became a member.[1][2]
