In view of the then impending universal suffrage (1907), List sought to found a Lower Austrian farmers' union . At his instigation, the constituent assembly of the n.ö. was held on June 24, 1906 in the Viennese inn “Zum green Tor”. Farmers' union held. List was thus one of the founders of the Lower Austrian Farmers' Union , in which he limited himself to the role of first deputy chairman.

After the First World War he was from October 21, 1918 to February 16, 1919 a member of the Provisional National Assembly and from March 4, 1919 to June 25, 1919 a member of the constituent national assembly .
