The party was established by two breakaway members from the Democratic Self-Government Party of Hong Kong,Tang Hon-tsai and K. Hopkin-Jenkins,and was joined by former civil servant G. S. Kennedy-Skipton as party secretary. [1] It claimed to be defined by close association with the policies of Britain and the Commonwealth,and to be straightforwardly socialistic,by concerning itself with workers,and promoting welfare and common ownership.
