The Labour Democratic Party (Italian: Partito Democratico del Lavoro), previously known as Labour Democracy (Italian: Democrazia del Lavoro), was an anti-fascist, social-democratic, and social-liberal political party in Italy. Founded in 1943 as the heir of the defunct Italian Reformist Socialist Party, it was formed by members of the Italian Socialist Party who wanted to cooperate with the Italian Liberal Party, the heir of the Liberal Union, which governed Italy from the days of Giovanni Giolitti. Leading members of the party were Ivanoe Bonomi, Meuccio Ruini, and Enrico Molè.
