The Commonwealth Land Party was a political party in the United Kingdom. It was founded in 1919 by J. W. Graham Peace and R. L. Outhwaite as the Commonwealth League, and was initially associated with the Independent Labour Party. It campaigned for the redistribution of land and the abolition of all taxation other than land rent.[1]
The group renamed itself the "Commonwealth Land Party" in 1923 and had candidates run in the 1931 UK general election. Peace died in 1947, after which it was again renamed, as the Common Land Party.[2] It was ultimately disbanded in 1954[why?].[1]
