Politicians From Portsmouth
A politician is a person who participates in policy-making processes, usually holding an elective position in government. Politicians represent the people, make decisions, and influence the formulation of public policy. The roles or duties that politicians must perform vary depending on the level of government they serve, whether local, national, or international.

Socialist Party Of Canada (in Manitoba)
The Socialist Party of Manitoba (SPM) was a short-lived social democratic political party launched in 1902 in the Canadian province of Manitoba. The organisation advanced a moderate programme of social reform legislation. In 1904 the SPM became one of the constituent units founding the Socialist Party of Canada, an organisation which continued until 1925. Establishment The Socialist Party of Manitoba was established in 1902.Peter E. Newell, ''The Impossibilists: A Brief Profile of the Socialist Party of Canada.'' London: Athena Press, 2008; pg. 24. Although professing a long-term objective of "socialisation of the means of Production, Distribution, and Exchange," in practice it followed the Fabian agenda of slow, incremental social legislation — a modest programme characterised by one historian as "pure reformist labourism."Newell, ''The Impossibilists,'' pg. 26 In one Winnipeg city election the SPM's candidate ran for office as a self-professed 'Labour Candidate' without so mu ...

Manitoba Labour Party
The Manitoba Labour Party (MLP) was a reformist, non-Marxist labour party in Manitoba, Canada. It was created in early May 1910 as a successor to the province's second Independent Labour Party (1906–08). Former Member of Parliament Arthur Puttee was a leading MLP organizer. The party fielded one candidate in the 1910 provincial election, and also ran candidates at the municipal level. The party's founding convention declared that "the ultimate object of attainment shall be to preserve to the worker the full product of his toil". The ambiguity of this statement was criticized by the more radical Socialist Party of Canada (SPC), which called for collective ownership in industry. After the SPC nominated candidates for Winnipeg North and Winnipeg West in the 1910 provincial election, the MLP sought to prevent confrontation and vote-splitting by fielding only one candidate of their own: Fred Dixon in Winnipeg Centre. Dixon was a moderate reformer, and campaigned in an unofficial ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

1910 Manitoba General Election
The 1910 Manitoba general election was held on July 11, 1910 to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Manitoba, Canada. The result was a fourth consecutive majority government for the Conservative Party of Manitoba, led by premier Rodmond Roblin. Roblin's electoral machine won 28 seats, against 13 for the opposition Manitoba Liberal Party under new leader Tobias Norris. The Manitoba Labour Party ran a single candidate: Fred Dixon, who was almost elected in Winnipeg Centre with unofficial support from the Liberal Party. Many believe that Dixon was defeated by the Socialist Party's decision to field a candidate against him. The Socialists ran two other candidates in Winnipeg, and both were defeated. All the members were elected through First-past-the-post voting in single member districts. This was the last election to be conducted that way in Manitoba for 48 years. The next 11 elections involved the election of some MLAs in multi-member districts.P ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
