Australian Labor Party - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The national Leader of the Labor Party is elected by the Labor members of the national Parliament (the Caucus), not by the conference. Joseph Cook, Billy Hughes and Joseph Lyons were all ex-members of the Labor Party, with both Hughes and Lyons holding very senior positions in the party (Prime Minister and Premier respectively). The party was historically committed to socialist economic policies, but this term was never clearly defined, and no Labor government ever attempted to implement "socialism" in any serious sense. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Australian_Labor_Party

Socialist Organizer: The Labor Party Labor support for the Independents was expressed by a close paraphrase of the Greenback Party's platform in the Knights of Labor National Labor Convention's declaration of Principles (Unger: 301, 302). The Labor Party's presidential nominee, David Davis, who had a national reputation as a respected Supreme Court Justice and an outspoken critic of Republican Party corruption, was a political opportunist with little interest in either the Labor or the Greenback movements. The Labor Party declared it to be "the duty of the federal government to establish a just standard of distribution of capital and labor by providing for a currency based on the faith and resources of the nation issued directly to the people without the intervention of banking corporations...." (Nash: 149, 150). www.theorganizer.org /LP/USHistory/Greenback.html

The Labor Party: A New Political Architecture The launch of the Labor Party by a number of unions reflects pressure from the other end, one rooted in the realization that an injury to one is still an injury to the working class as a whole. First, the Party subscribes to an independent class approach to politics and is emphatically not about trying to reform or pressure the Democrats (although no one knows what effect the Labor Party might have on the existing main parties in the future). This immediately distinguishes the Labor Party from the New Party and its New York sibling, the Working Families Party, both of which rely on fusion or the cross-endorsement of Democrats as a means of building a progressive alternative. www.wpunj.edu /~newpol/issue27/sweene27.htm

Labor Party: FAQs The Labor Party is national in scope and includes state parties, chapters and local organizing committees which organize members and promote the activities and policies of the Labor Party in its jurisdiction, and elect delegates to Labor Party conventions. The convention is the supreme governing body of the Labor Party and has final authority in all matters of national policy, program and constitution. The Labor Party's Program – the Call for Economic Justice – includes a demand to End Bigotry: An Injury to One is an Injury to All. www.thelaborparty.org /a_faqs.html

Socialist Organizer: The Labor Party For their part, Buck and the other directors of the Labor Party were equally determined not to engage in "compromise or buncombe." They were willing to wait for electoral victory, even if it came as late as 1940, rather than be manipulated and dominated by the "wishy-washy" liberal agents of the ruling class (Shapiro: 418). The Labor Party movement was an effort to challenge the monopoly of the capitalist two-party system of politics in the United States and establish a mass party which interjected the interests of workers into the nation's political dialogue (Dobbs: 109). With strong labor support in the more industrialized and urbanized Puget Sound Region and at least the paper endorsement of the Railroad Brotherhoods and the Grange, it was clear from the outset that the 1920 Washington state Farmer Labor Party candidates were likely to receive substantial vote totals. www.theorganizer.org /LP/USHistory/Grassroots.html

Profile: Israel's Labor Party in Disarray The once-proud Labor Party is in severe disarray, just as international attention returns to the peace process, the issue that defined Labor for more than a decade. That's part of the problem in Labor, but I don't think that the vultures that are now trying to jump on the Labor Party are correct. But she says as long as there's any hope for a negotiated peace, she owes it to her children to try and fight for it, even if the leaders of Israel's historic Labor Party are too busy fighting among themselves to help. www.npr.org /programs/morning/transcripts/2003/may/030508.kenyon.html

National Labor Party biography .ms The National Labor Party was never formally constituted as a party and had no organisational structure, although some trade union officials and Labor Party branches, particularly in Western Australia and Tasmania, supported it. The National Labor Party was the name used by the Australian Prime Minister Billy Hughes for himself and his followers after they were expelled from the Australian Labor Party in November 1916 over the issue of conscription for World War I. In February 1917 the National Labor group merged with the Liberal Party led by Joseph Cook to form the Nationalist Party of Australia with Hughes as leader. national-labor-party.biography.ms

New MNDFL Website -- Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party Governor Pawlenty has aggressively focused his attention on raising his national profile over the past number of months, and ensuring his name is included in news stories about presidential contenders for 2008," said DFL Party Chair Mike Erlandson. The Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party responsded to Governor Tim Pawlenty’s series of education news conferences last week across Minnesota by pointing out Pawlenty's education failures as governor. While national tragedy and/or a major crisis has a way of putting the president back on the front page in a hurry, neither of these anecdotes are ones that a normal human being, let alone a shrewd politician, would wish for. www.dfl.org

Farmer-Labor party Formed in 1919 as the National Labor party, it changed its name at its 1920 presidential nominating convention in order to appeal to farmers.

Remaining aloof from the national party of the same name, it established a permanent party structure in 1922. www.infoplease.com /ce6/history/A0818267.html
