The founders of the party were Meir Dizengoff and Bezalel Yaffe, in the elections for the first Assembly of Representatives in 1920, it was represented by three delegates. Amongst its principles were "organizing political and social life according to the principles of equality and freedom…political education and wide participation in the local and political life; maintaining good relations between Jews and other inhabitants of the country".
