Labour Democratic Party
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Labour Democratic Party (Partito Democratico del Lavoro) was a progressive party founded in 1943 by some former members of the Italian Reform Socialist Party, formed by those Socialists who wanted to cooperate with the Liberal political guard who governed Italy from the days of Giovanni Giolitti. Leading members of the party were Ivanoe Bonomi, Meuccio Ruini and Enrico Molè.
After having fought the 1946 general election within the National Democratic Union (composed basically by Benedetto Croce's Italian Liberal Party and by pre-Fascist leading conservative-liberal politicians, such as Vittorio Emanuele Orlando and Francesco Saverio Nitti), most members joined the Italian Democratic Socialist Party, of which Bonomi was honorary chairman from 1947 until his death in 1951.
