It was reorganized as the Progressive Party of Japan on November 6. Tadaji Machida, the last president of the Democratic Party, acted as president of the Progressive Party, Yusuke Tsurumi as secretary general, Takashi Saito as General Committee member,

President of the Government Investigation. The party had 273 members. The party's program is to uphold the national system, implement democracy, and establish a politics of responsibility centered on parliament. Specific propositions also support the imperial constitutional system and so on.
At the beginning of the Progressive Party, the position of party president had not yet been decided, and at first members wanted to appoint army generals
Issei Utagaki
He became the first president, but it was not clear whether Douglas MacArthur would accept him, and there were also difficulties in raising funds. Finally, on December 18th, the 84-year-old Machida was elected president, as his ability to raise funds far exceeded that of Ugaki and to avoid a split in the party.
In January 1946, the Progressive Party was in disarray, and no member of the National Assembly dared to attend the deliberation of important bills. According to the Cabinet statement, most of the "recommended lawmakers" in the general election held in Showa 17 (1942) were ineligible to run in the 1946 general election, and therefore, key party members including Machida and Tsurumi were ineligible to run in the election. Of the 274 party members, only 14 qualified, and the rest were released by public officials.
In the general election held in April, the Progressive Party won 94 seats, the second largest party in the House of Representatives after the Liberal Party with 140 seats. Following the election, Prime Minister Kishigeiro Kohara led the resignation of the general Cabinet on April 22, and served as president of the Progressive Party, replacing Machida who resigned due to the release of public office. At that time, since the number of seats of the major parties was close and all were less than half, many political parties wanted to participate in the formation of a government. The Progress Party tried to unite with the right wing of the Socialist Party, but was rebuffed, after which Coihara indicated that the Liberal Party, as the largest party, should govern, and the Progress Party was willing to cooperate. But the Liberal party's president, Ichiro Hatoyama, wants a three-party alliance, especially with the Socialist Party, which at first refused to take part in government but made policy agreements with the Liberal Party. Just on May 3, Coin Yuan went to the palace
Mikado
When Hatoyama was asked to form a cabinet, the Allied Command issued an order for Hatoyama to be released from public office.
The Liberal Party decided to entrust Foreign Minister Yoshida Shigeru to form a cabinet, at first Yoshida not from, but after Machida and coin original persuasion, Yoshida to Hatoyama put forward three conditions to form a cabinet, Hatoyama accepted. On May 16, Yoshida was responsible for the formation of a government, Yoshida invited the Socialist Party and the coalition party to govern, but they all refused, so the Progressive Party joined the government, the establishment of a two-party regime. On May 22, the Yoshida Cabinet was formed, and the president of the Progressive Party, Koshihara, became the Minister of State.
After the formation of the Yoshida Cabinet, members of the Progressive Party became increasingly dissatisfied with the policy of the Yoshida government, and the young Zhuang faction formed the "New Progressive Association", which endorsed Ashida as the party president, and broke up with the Liberal Party to support Ashida as prime minister. On March 22, 1947, the Progressive Party's top cadres decided to form a new party. On March 31, the founding convention of the Democratic Party was held, attended by all 114 members of the Progressive Party

Liberal civil rights movement
Time. In January 1874, Itagaki Shuisuke and Goto Shanjiro, in line with the trend of the emerging middle and small bourgeoisie to oppose the dictatorship of the feudal gate and demand the government to set up an elected house, launched the organization of the Patriotic Public Party, but soon dissolved. In April of the same year, Itagaki, Kataoka Kenyoshi and other established Ashiki. In February 1875, the Patriotic Association was founded on the basis of the Association (renamed the National Assembly in March 1880). In the early 1880s, with the decline of the liberal civil rights movement, the middle and small bourgeoisie moved from propaganda and petition activities to party formation activities in preparation for political participation after the opening of the National Assembly. In October 1881, the Alliance and other organizations were reorganized into the Liberal Party, and Itagaki Shuisuke became Prime Minister (i.e., chairman). In April 1882, the Constitutional Improvement Party, with Shigobu Okuma as Prime Minister, was established. The establishment of these two parties marked the formal emergence of a relatively well-organized political party in Japan. In October 1884, the Liberal Party was dissolved. In January 1890, Kentaro Oi and others reorganized the Liberal Party, Hironaka Kono and others formed the Tatsu Club, and Itagaki Shuisuke and others formed the Patriotic Public Party. In September of the same year, the three parties formed a coalition
Constitutional Liberal Party
It was renamed the Liberal Party in 1891. In 1896, the Constitutional Improvement Party incorporated several minor parties into the Progressive Party. In June 1898, the Liberal Party and the Progressive Party merged to form the Constitutional Party, with Shigobu Okuma as Prime Minister and Shuisuke Itagaki as Minister of Internal Affairs, making it the first political party cabinet in Japanese history. The Constitutionalist Party was in power for about four months, with a split between the old Liberal Party and the old Progressive Party competing for cabinet positions. The old Liberal Party continued to use the name Constitutional Party; The old Progressive Party was renamed the Constitutional Party and later the Constitutional Society. After many reshuffles, the two political parties have evolved into each other
World War II
The two major bourgeois conservative parties in former Japan were the Constitutional Friends and the Constitutional Democratic Party.
The early socialist party organization in Japan emerged in the late 19th century and early 20th century. In 1898, it was organized by Pian Shanqian and others

Socialist movement
There have been developments, and socialist groups have sprung up. These groups united to form the Japanese Socialist League on December 10, 1920, and subsequently emerged
Social Democratic Party
. In March 1926, Sugiyama Motoharo and others organized the Labor Farmers' Party. In December of the same year, the party split into four factions: the Labor Farmers' Party, the Japanese Labor Farmers' Party, the Socialist People's Party, and the Japanese Farmers' Party. These legal social democratic parties participated in the first "general election" in 1928 and won eight seats. After several reorganizations, they merged in July 1931 as the National Peasant Popular Party and in July 1932 as the Socialist Popular Party. In the Japanese bourgeois revolution, the proletariat gradually emerged as an independent political force on the stage of history
Proletarian party
. On July 15, 1922, Katayama Qian and other leaders founded the Japanese Communist Party.
In 1940, in order to maintain the fascist dictatorship of the warlords, the Japanese militarists adopted the so-called "new political system", dissolved all political parties, and established a fascist organization with the purpose of "practicing the minister's way of Yizan". This marked the end of party politics in Japan before World War II.
After the Second World War, the United States occupied Japan, and under the promotion of anti-fascist and democratic progressive forces at home and abroad, Japan carried out bourgeois democratic reform, and various political parties were restored and rebuilt one after another. In November 1945, the Japan Liberal Party and the Japan Progressive Party were founded on the basis of the two major pre-war bourgeois political parties, the Constitutional Friends and the Constitutional Democratic Party, and in December of the same year, the Japan Cooperation Party was established. These parties were divided and reorganized until November 1954, when they formed two major conservative parties, the Democratic Party and the Liberal Party. On May 3, 1947, Japan adopted a new constitution (the Constitution of Japan), which established a bourgeois parliamentary system, symbolized by the Emperor, and provided for the government to be organized by the party holding the majority of seats in the Diet. From May 1947 to March 1948, he formed the Katayama Cabinet, dominated by the Socialist Party. From March to October 1948, the Democratic Party, the Socialist Party, and the People's Party formed the Ashida Gyoshi Cabinet. Since then, two conservative parties, the Democrats and the Liberals, have alternated in power. In October 1955, the left and right wings of the Socialist Party reunited to form the Japanese Socialist Party. In order to counter the progressive forces of the Japanese Socialist Party, on November 15 of the same year, with the support of the monopoly bourgeoisie, the Democratic Party and the Liberal Party merged to form the Liberal Democratic Party. Since then the Liberal Democrats have been in power for a long time. From 1955 to 1960, Japanese politics was dominated by opposition between conservative parties and innovative parties. After 1960, moderate parties emerged
