The IKL uniform was a black shirt with blue tie, inspired by the Italian and German fascists. Ideologically, IKL was ardently nationalist and anti-Communist, its leaders being influenced by nationalist activism and fascism.
IKL participated in parliamentary elections. In 1933 it was in alliance with the conservative National Coalition Party (Kokoomus)The National Coalition Party Kansallinen Kokoomus or Samlingspartiet is a political party in Finland. The party was founded on December 9, 1918, chiefly on the basis of the fennoman "Old-Finnish party". Today, the party is strongly Europhile. Although the, and got 14 seats out of 200.

The Winter WarThe Winter War (also known as the Russo-Finnish War) broke out when the Soviet Union attacked Finland on November 30, 1939, three months after the start of World War II. As a consequence, the Soviet Union was expelled from the League of Nations on Decembe, and particularly the unjust Moscow Peace, were seen by IKL and its sympathizers as the ultimate proof of the parliamentary government's failed foreign policy. After the Winter War, Finland's foreign policy was drastically changed, by and large to correspond with that of IKL, and IKL was even included in the Cabinet. No parliamentary elections were held, that could have indicated a possibly increased support for IKL, but their militarist, revanchist, expansionist and anti-democratic views became popular in the other parties, partly influencing as far left as the Social Democratic Speaker of Parliament Väinö Hakkila . After the initial enthusiasm during the first autumn of the Continuation War, 1941, this opinion waned, and IKL wasn't included in Edwin Linkomies' cabinet in spring 1943.
In the aftermath of the Continuation War, IKL was banned four days after the armistice between Finland and the Soviet Union was signed 19 September, 1944.
It is interesting to note that the leading anti-IKL characters on the political right later became presidents of Finland, Paasikivi in 1946- 1956 and Kekkonen in 1956- 1982.
IKL was re-established under the name Isänmaallinen Kansallis-Liitto in 1993, but it is politically insignificant.
