		Peasant League election campaigns emphasized the need to retain strict divorce laws and religious education in the schools as a way to preserve the authority of the Church and with it the socially nurturing influence of the clergy.

		Though it did not capture all the farm vote and gained quite a lot of support outside rural areas, the Peasant Party is essentially a class party, reflecting the paradoxes of Polish agriculture.
