History
The party was established in June 1965 by Mariano Kelesi and Eric Lawson.[1][2] Kelesi and Lawson were both members of the Legislative Council, and the formation of the party was aimed at bringing together elected members,[2] which had been introduced to the Council in 1964. In total, eight MLCs joined the new party.[3]
The party had disappeared by 1967.[2]
