Kokumin Doshikai

History

The party was established on 23 April 1924 by eight members of the National Diet, and was initially named Jitsugyo Doshikai (実業同志会, Business Fellow Thinkers Club).[1] Headed by Muto Sanji, its members were businessmen who supported free market policies.[1]

In the 1928 elections, the first held under universal male suffrage, the party was reduced to four seats, with most of its support coming from urban areas. In April 1929 it was renamed Kokumin Doshikai, and went on to win six seats in the 1930 elections, but was dissolved on 24 January 1932.

gollark: Guess I'm secretly socialist and in denial!
gollark: > The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.2%.
gollark: > The Free Land of Anrak is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.677 billion Anrakians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
gollark: I have Notelia, my main one which also seems to have gone socialist because the game seems to like that for some reason, Anrak, where there is literally no law enforcement (but government-provided education if I remember right), and Doemokria, where I do random testing.
gollark: I mostly just answer the issues occasionally on my three nations.
