Rise to power
The party was created when a group of nationalist Liberals who had quit the Parti libéral du Québec in 1934 to form the Action libérale nationale (ALN) joined with the Parti conservateur du Québec (Conservative Party, led by Duplessis), to form the Union Nationale. Because the Union Nationale was launched only two weeks before the election, the ALN and Conservatives ran separately in the 1935 Quebec election but did not compete against each other. The ALN won 25 seats and the Conservatives won 17.

In the Quebec general election on November 25, 1935, the incumbent Quebec Liberal Party under Louis-Alexandre Taschereau were re-elected, defeating the Action libérale nationale under Paul Gouin and the Quebec Conservative Party under Maurice Duplessis. ...
Although the ALN had won a larger share of the vote and more seats than Duplessis's Conservatives in 1935, it was Duplessis who took the leadership of the UN and dominated it. Although ALN leader Paul Gouin had a falling out with Duplessis and withdrew his support, most members of the ALN caucus sided with Duplessis, and the new Union Nationale party was formally created to run in the 1936 election, which it won. Paul Gouin (May 20, 1898 - December 4, 1976) was the son of Lomer Gouin and the grandson of Honoré Mercier. ...

The victory of Jean Lesage's Liberals in the 1960 election ushered in the Quiet Revolution. While the Union Nationale won power once more in 1966 under Daniel Johnson, the province had changed irrevocably.

Although the Union Nationale made a modest recovery in the 1976 election, winning 11 seats and 18.2% of the popular vote, it never won another seat in any subsequent election.

Deregistration On June 19, 1989, Pierre F. Côté, the Director General of Elections for the Province of Quebec, withdrew the party's registration, bringing an end to the party after more than 50 years as a political force in the province. As a result of this decision, it was no longer able to receive contributions or make expenditures. The next day, the interim leader of the party, Michel Lebrun, told a reporter that he would contest the decision before the Quebec Superior Court, arguing that the decision was unfair, and a violation of both the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the Quebec Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It was the first time in Quebec that a party had lost its official status as a result of its debts.
