Disciplined Party Voting: A Labor Innovation?

When the Labor Party entered Parliament in N.S.W. in 1891, it intended not to compete with the other two parties for ministerial positions but rather to act as a third party which would offer 'support in return for concessions' and use its numbers to maintain in office whichever party offered the more attractive programme.1 As Crisp points out, This meant that party discipline within the House had to be strict,2 and therefore the Labor Party devised rules and procedures designed to produce the necessary solidarity in divisions. The result, so historians have claimed, was to force the other parties to follow Labor's example of parliamentary organisation. J. D. B. Miller writes:

Alcide De Gasperi and the Fascist Regime, 1924–1929

In May, 1924, the National Council of the Partita Popolare elected Alcide De Gasperi, deputy from Venezia Tridentina and president of the Popolare parliamentary group, as political secretary. This election united for the first time in one mandate the presidency of the parliamentary organization and the party secretaryship. Under De Gasperi the party remained on center moorings, opposing Fascism on constitutional grounds and employing moderate, legal methods. But the struggle was an unequal one. The violence of the Fascists did not abate after their April electoral successes, and the headquarters of the local branches of the Partito Popolare, along with Catholic societies and “White” cooperatives, continued to be objects of squadrist attacks, especially in northern Italy. As an able opponent of Fascism both at Montecitorio and in the Trentino, his homeland, De Gasperi aroused the enmity of Mussolini and his subordinates.
