Mironov was elected leader of the party secretly, unanimously and on a non-alternative basis. The party intended to participate in the parliamentary elections in December 2003.

Before the parliamentary elections of 2003, held on December 7, 2003, according to some agencies, the Party of Life, with the consent of Mironov, took the initiative to include the protection of the Russian muskrat in the environmental development program, but later Mironov claimed that his party had never been engaged in the protection of the muskrat, and the initiative protection of the animal belonged to an employee of the RPC from Pskov, while he himself allegedly had not even heard of such an animal before.

Immediately after taking office again, Sergei Mironov proposed to increase the presidential term: “For a country like Russia, four years as president is a very short term. I propose to think about changing it to 5, and maybe even 7 years.”.

Moreover, Mironov suggested thinking about introducing into the Constitution of the Russian Federation a norm on three terms for the head of state: “Part three of Article 81 says that the same person cannot hold the position of President of the Russian Federation for more than two terms in a row, and I propose to think about whether the need has come, responding to numerous, I would say multimillion-dollar appeals of our citizens, revise this provision and establish that the same person cannot hold the office of the President of the Russian Federation for more than three terms in a row”.

After Putin agreed to head United Russia's list in the December 2007 Duma elections, Mironov reiterated his support for the president, but did not support United Russia. On December 10, 2007, the Just Russia party headed by him, as well as the parties United Russia, Civil Force, and the Agrarian Party of Russia supported presidential candidate Dmitry Medvedev.

On February 1, 2010, he participated in the Pozner television program and stated, in particular: “To say that we, and I personally, support Vladimir Putin in everything, is already outdated information. By the way, to a large extent, we have contradictions due to the fact that Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin headed the United Russia party, which is in opposition to us and is unacceptable in terms of ideology with some dubious conservatism. ”.

In response to this, the leaders of United Russia (First Deputy Secretary of the Presidium of the General Council of United Russia Andrei Konstantinovich Isaev, head of the Central Executive Committee of United Russia Andrei Vorobyov, Secretary of the Presidium of the General Council, Vice Speaker of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin) expressed indignation and suggested that Sergei Mironov to resign.

On February 8, 2010, political consultations were held in the State Duma between the parties "A Just Russia" and "United Russia". The consultations were attended by Sergei Mironov, head of the faction Nikolai Levichev, Chairman of the State Duma and Chairman of the Supreme Council of the United Russia Party Boris Gryzlov and Secretary of the Presidium of the General Council of the United Russia Party Vyacheslav Volodin. As a result of the consultations, Sergei Mironov and Boris Gryzlov signed a political agreement in which both parties declared that they are committed to seeking coalition action: A Just Russia supports the strategic course of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on strategic issues foreign policy, national security, the foundations of the constitutional order, rejection of extremism, and United Russia supports the presence of Sergei Mironov as Chairman of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation. The parties to the Agreement expressed their readiness to work together in resolving personnel issues, including on the basis of the election results, by concluding package agreements in the formation of governing bodies.

On April 16, 2011, he resigned as chairman of A Just Russia, while remaining its leader.

Sergei Mironov has been repeatedly accused of obstructing the approval of members of the Federation Council of people unpleasant to him personally.

Grigory Tomchin, failed senator from the Tomsk region: “Mironov believes that the Federation Council is his personal fiefdom, where only the speaker has the right to let him in and not let him in. But he does not have such a right, Mironov violates the law and the Constitution.”

On May 18, 2011, at the suggestion of the United Russia faction of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, he was recalled from the post of representative of the Legislative Assembly of the city in the Federation Council, thus losing the post of Chairman of the Federation Council.

On June 8, 2011, he was registered as a deputy of the State Duma, taking the place of deputy Elena Vtorigina.
