Eastern Liberal Party

The Eastern Liberal Party (, "Tōyō Jiyūtō") was a political party in Japan.
History.
The Eastern Liberal Party was established by Ōi Kentarō in 1891 as a breakaway from the Liberal Party after a dispute between Ōi and Hoshi Tōru; it initially had four members of the Diet. Whilst adopting a hawkish foreign policy and calling for an increase in military spending, the party also supported widening the electoral franchise and protecting workers' rights.
The party was dissolved in November 1893.
