History

The party was established in 1945 in Gozo.[1] It won two seats in the 1947 elections, but lost both in the 1950 elections. After failing to win a seat in the 1951 elections it subsequently disappeared.[1]

The party sought to promote agricultural co-operatives, and opposed Malta's dominance within the island group.[1]
