Unlike these highly localized projects, the PLS ran candidates in 26 precincts, and formed small but active county organizations—according to Cazimir, these were mostly run by divorcée ladies. The PLS received around 0.3% of the vote in both the Chamber of Deputies and Senate elections. Although it failed to win any senatorial mandates, it took a single seat in the Chamber, which went to Cazimir. In his early speeches at Cervantes, Cazimir had joked that they only ran in elections "because I was tired of things going smooth." He used his speaking time in Chamber mainly to popularize the sayings of Caragiale and Ion Creangă, as well as his own epigrams. At times, Cazimir also expressed mild criticism of the FSN as the party of "dead roses", and commented negatively on the June 1990 Mineriad, braving threats of violence from the Front's working-class electorate. However, journalist George Baltac believes that the PLS "deliberately" helped the FSN to fragment the voting weight for the National-Peasantist opposition with "an explosion of minuscule parties." He notes that Cazimir, as a "left-wing intellectual", had a personal relationship with FSN leader Ion Iliescu. Likewise, commentator Andrei Manolescu argues that "[Cazimir's] humor and irony turned into actual opportunism."
