What is the oldest political party in the world?

Answer 1

It is the British Conservative Party (the Tories) followed by the United States Democratic Party.

Answer 2

The Conservative (Tory) party. The Whig party was the opposition at first but was destroyed when the Portland Whigs crossed the floor of the House over the Napoleonic wars and joined them. They then had the Liberals to contend with around the start of the 20th century and then Labour became the opposition after world war two.

After Labour have gone I expect it'll be the Green party at this rate.

Answer 3

The Democratic Party is the world's oldest existing political party.

The Democratic Party was formed in 1792, when supporters of Thomas Jefferson began using the name Republicans, or Jeffersonian Republicans, to emphasize its anti-aristocratic policies.

In the 1840s and '50s, the party was in conflict over extending slavery to the Western territories. Southern Democrats insisted on protecting slavery in all the territories while many Northern Democrats resisted. The party split over the slavery issue in 1860 at its Presidential convention in Charleston, South Carolina. Northern Democrats nominated Stephen Douglas as their candidate, and Southern Democrats adopted a pro-slavery platform and nominated John C. Breckinridge in an election campaign that would be won by Abraham Lincoln and the newly formed Republican Party.

Answer 4

Hello my friend, to be honest the start of the world took place in the Middle East in what these people now call Iraq but the real name to this beautiful/cursed Kingdom should be called; Babel/Babylon/Babylonia.
So these political parties are really not political people but really are a society underground and an example of people like them is Saddam, Hitler, Stalin etc. But to be honest I agree with some of these societies ambitions, but to be honest these societies have so many other names to confuse Man and make them search almost a lifetime for this underground society. So to finish it off all the societies back in the days in the time of Babylon (5000 B.C) have split up into different societies some went to Europe (UK), others went to America (US) and some went back to their homeland Israel (IS) but they still have the same intentions in life ever since Babylonia but it is better off that you look it up because I dont want to say anything to you to make you change how you live your peaceful/non-peaceful life, so sorry if I could not answer your question but I could only say the names that I belief that they are called;

FreeMasons (UK)
Zionists (IS)

P.S. To these soul/secret/scared societies, if your ambitions in life is something to do with Babel so it could be rebuilt for a reason that is not to be a Benevolent Kingdom, then I curse you and I this is the only thing that I say to you;
Babel/Babylon/Babylonia is not for the non-loving, but it is for the Benevolent Ones!

This is because Babylon has been in that era where there was Love in the begining but Love turned weak and was over took by Envy/Hatred/Greed by Man/Men, that is why in this life of ours it shall be rebuilt for;

"The Ones Who Love Each Other".

Bless.
