Workers' and Farmers' Party

Japanese: 労働者農民党 - ろうどうしゃのうみんとう

A Japanese political party. A socialist party formed in December 1948. Although it is abbreviated as the Labor-Farmer Party, it is different from the Labor-Farmer Party and Labor-Farmer Party that existed before World War II. It was formed in July 1948 when the ruling Japan Socialist Party's left wing members Kuroda Hisao and Okada Haruo were expelled from the party for voting against the budget proposal of the Ashida Kin'yo Cabinet. Kuroda was the chairman and Nakahara Kenji was the secretary-general. At the time of its formation, it had 12 members of the House of Representatives and 7 members of the House of Councillors. Politically, it was positioned between the Japan Socialist Party and the Japanese Communist Party, and its goal was to "form a broad democratic people's front and establish a revolutionary democratic government by peaceful means." The number of members decreased in subsequent elections and the party's uniqueness also faded, so it held a dissolution convention on January 16, 1957, and decided to unify with the Japan Socialist Party, with its members returning to the party.

日本の政党。1948年12月に結成された社会主義政党。労農党と略すが，第2次世界大戦前の労農党および労働農民党とは別のもの。1948年7月芦田均内閣の予算案に造反して反対投票した与党日本社会党左派の黒田寿男，岡田春夫らが党から除名されて結成した。主席黒田，書記長中原健次。結成時には衆議院議員 12人，参議院議員 7人が所属した。政治的には日本社会党と日本共産党の中間に位置し，「広汎な民主人民戦線を結成し，平和的手段によって革命的民主政権の樹立を期す」ことを目的とした。その後の選挙で所属議員が減少し，党の独自性も薄れ，1957年1月16日解党大会を開き解散，日本社会党との統一を決定し，所属議員は同党に復帰した。
