The Eastern Liberal Party (Japanese: 東洋自由党, Tōyō Jiyūtō) was a political party in Japan.
History
The Eastern Liberal Party 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.
