The Farmer-Labour Party (農民労働党, Nōmin-rōdō-tō) was a short-lived socialist political party in Japan. The party was the first of the proletarian parties that emerged in the country after the enactment of the Universal Manhood Suffrage Law (普通選挙法, Futsū Senkyo Hō) in 1925, which gave the vote to all males 25 years or older.[1] The party was banned by the Japanese government just a few hours after its foundation.
