The Party for Peace and Order was a conservative political party in Latvia during the inter-war period.

History

The party was established in 1925, and won two seats in the second Saima in the 1925 elections. It was reduced to a single seat in the 1928 elections, which it retained in the 1931 elections for the fourth Saeima.

Ideology

The party held similar views to the Landlords' Party in neighbouring Estonia, supporting a classical capitalist economic policy and advocating private property rights. It usually sat in the Saeima alongside the National Union and Christian National Union and some Latgalian parties, in a grouping known as the "National Bloc".
