Their coalition has only been unseated twice, first in 1992 and later in 2008. The party has faced a decline in recent years, losing support to other right-wing parties.

Overtime, the party has become increasingly socially liberally and has a growing soft left wing. It has formed a number of governments since 1968 and entered into an electoral alliance with the NUP in 1976.
