Anders Venger (5 January 1872 – 23 February 1935) was a Norwegian politician of the Conservative Party. He served Minister of Agriculture from 1923 to 1924,Minister of Labour from March to July 1926 and acting Minister of Education and Church Affairs from November to December 1923 following the death of Ivar Bergersen Sælen. He also served as deputy leader of the Conservative Party from 1920 to 1925. [1]
Anders Venger grew up at Venjerbakken,one of Eidsvoll's oldest properties at the time. The farm was located on the west side of Vorma,close to Eidsvoll Verk and the industrial area Bøn. Venger was the son of Marte Olava Aas (1848–1907) and Johan A. Venger (1846–1921). His father,who had bought Venjerbakken in 1873,was also active in municipal politics in Eidsvoll.
Venger was elected mayor of Eidsvoll in 1912 and assumed the position in 1913. He held this post for 21 years until 1934,though he was on leave while he served as government minister. He entered the Storting in 1919,elected as a representative from the constituency of Øvre Romerike. He was re-elected until 1927,when he choose not to run for re-election due to the impeachment proceedings against former prime minister Abraham Berge. During that same time frame,he also resigned as Minister of Labour in 1926. Venger had also served as Minister of Agriculture and Otto Bahr Halvorsen's second cabinet and continued in the same post after Abraham Berge took over after Bahr Halvorsen's death in May 1923. As agriculture minister,he was able to pass farmer friendly bill regarding corn arrangements. For many years,Venger was an active member of the Conservative central executive committee,and he also served five years as the party's deputy leader. He was considered to be a part of the party's agrarian wing,whom,during the 1920s,were in conflict with city liberals,where they disagreed on the party's agricultural policy.
The Progressive Party of Canada was a federal-level political party in Canada in the 1920s until 1930.

The Progressive Party was part of the farmers' political movement that included federal and provincial Progressive and United Farmers' parties.

Strandman was a key figure in composing the radical land reform law and the 1920 Constitution. He also served as Minister of Agriculture (1918–1919),Minister of Justice,Minister of Finance (1924),Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of War (1919). While he was in the office of Minister of Finance,he stabilized the economy and managed to avoid hyperinflation. Strandman was also the speaker of both the Estonian Provincial Assembly (1917–1918) and Riigikogu (1921). He was a diplomat,serving as an envoy in Warsaw (1927–1929),when he made contacts with Polish politicians,and in Paris (1933–1939). During the Soviet Occupation in 1941,Strandman was ordered to show up to the NKVD headquarters. Already knowing about his fate,he committed suicide in his home in Kadrina.
There have been various groups in Canada that have nominated candidates under the label Labour Party or Independent Labour Party,or other variations from the 1870s until the 1960s. These were usually local or provincial groups using the Labour Party or Independent Labour Party name,backed by local labour councils made up of many union locals in a particular city,or individual trade unions. There was an attempt to create a national Canadian Labour Party in the late 1910s and in the 1920s,but these were only partly successful.
