Within the FDP, Zoglmann was one of the strict opponents of the social-liberal coalition and, above all, of the New Ostpolitik . On June 17, 1970 he founded the National Liberal Action (NLA) with Dietrich Bahner and other members of the Hohensyburger Kreis within the FDP in order to strengthen the influence of the right wing within the party. After the federal party congress of the FDP from June 22 to 24, 1970 in Bonn had confirmed Walter Scheel's reform-oriented, social-liberal line (see Freiburg theses ), the NLA was constituted nationwide. Zoglmann became its chairman and resigned from the FDP on October 9, 1970. After the NLA was transferred to the German Union in 1971, Zoglmann was its chairman until 1974. When the failure of the DU as an independent party became foreseeable, he switched to the CSU in November 1974.

When he left the party on October 9, 1970, Zoglmann also left the FDP parliamentary group and became a guest of the CSU regional group. Although still living in North Rhine-Westphalia, Zoglmann, who was non-party at the time, was re-elected to the Bundestag in 1972 on the CSU state list.
