This party generally had democratic and progressive tendencies and was represented in the Greek Parliament in the post-war period, as emerged during the elections of 1946, as well as in the elections of 1950, with a small group of MPs.

In December 1950, the E.E.K. merged with a group of MPs led by Stefanos Stefanopoulos, who had split from the People's Party, creating the People's Unionist Party, which later joined the Greek Rally after a short period of time.

The party's publication was the newspaper "Elliniki Foni" (Greek Voice), where well-known academics and friends of Kanellopoulos, such as Konstantinos Despotopoulos, Phaidon Vegleris, and Ioannis Theodorakopoulos, later contributed as writers.
