A political party organized agency of the farmer movement is called as a farmer party. Depending upon regional tradition and political conflict lines farmer parties are inclined more strongly to sozialreformerischen to socialist or to nationalpopulist demands. Into the 1920er years were farmer parties in Europe both catalysts of the political integration of the and autocratic changes in individual states (e.g. in Estonia).

Background

The parties of the "Greens in such a way specified international one" (Werner Conze) were rooted in agrarian (half) feudal coined/shaped societies. They did not only stand for rural daily or particularist interests, but their landreformerische objective saved socialrevolutionary potential. In their Rhetorik arose they often, sometimes also today still, to anti-modern, anti-urban, anti-Semitic and anti-intellectually. Farmer parties affected to that extent the culture of the respective societies often in the sense of smallcivil conceptions and resentment.

Immediately after the Second World War the farmer parties partly arose to large mass movements in the states occupied by the Soviet Union (e.g. see the Hungarian FKGP). This was to be already regarded as answer of the population to the initiating establishment socialist regime in the states occupied of the Soviet Union: The broad population now quite followed the social demands of the position referred however clearly against the communist parties.

After the collapse of the People's Republics in central, east and South-east Europe farmer parties tried to tie old successes. This did not succeed to new old person parties however generally or only in exceptional cases. While in individual states movements and parties with populist Rhetorik to parts of the old Cleavage structures in problematic way could tie, other groupings of the farmer-political spectrum approached the Christian-democratic parties. A characteristic is the development in Latvia: Here the lettische "farmer's association" LZS went and the Green a party LZP an civil-ecological alliance (under the name ZZS), and was very successful with it with elections.
