Between 14 January 1893 and 16 January 1893, the Independent Labour Party was founded. After three candidates who had campaigned as labor representatives were elected to parliament in 1892, the Independent Labour Party held its first conference and issued a platform calling for collective ownership, free public education, unemployment relief, and a minimum wage. The ILP would later join a broader coalition, the Labour Representation Committee formed at a conference held 26-27 February 1900, and on 15 February 1906 the name Labour Party was adopted.
