| 释义 |
The Independent Party, also known as the Golden Valley Party or ,[1][2] was a pro-British political party in Burma during the 1920s and 1930s. Its leadership included Joseph Maung Gyi, U Khin and U May Oung.[2] HistoryThe party was established as the Progressive Party in 1922,[2] evolving from the senior faction of the Young Men's Buddhist Association, whose members were conservative, western-educated and willing to accept the colonial system of government.[3] Although the 1922 general elections saw the 21 Party emerge as the largest party in the Legislative Council, its leader Ba Pe refused to form a government with the Golden Valley Party, allowing Maung Gyi to head the new government.[4] In 1925 the party was renamed the Independent Party,[5] also becoming known as the Golden Valley Party (Shwe Taung Gyar) in reference to the upper-class suburbs in which its leaders lived,[1] but was not formally organised, nor had any popular support.[3] The elections later that year (in which it won 20 of the 80 seats)[3] and 1928 elections (12 seats) ended with the same outcome due to favouritism by the British authorities.[4] The party contested the 1932 elections calling for the separation of Burma from India, but were defeated by the anti-separatists, who won a landslide;[3] Ba Maw of the Mawmyintbye Party became Chief Minister. It failed to win a seat in the 1936 elections.
