 Before the elections of 1981 the BP was renamed to Rightwing People's Party ("Rechtse Volkspartij", RVP) but they were unable to win a seat.In the municipality of Heerde, a remnant of the party as "Gemeentebelang Boerenpartij Heerde" continues to have representation on the municipal council.The party's main issue was the increasing government interference in, and the institutionalization of, farming.
