Ginger Group

The Ginger Group was a grouping of various activist MPs in Canada in existence from the 1920s to the 1930s. It included Progressive and LabourMembers of Parliament who advocated socialism. The Group was voluntary and not a formal political party. The term ginger group may also refer to any group with new ideas that tries to act as a catalyst ("ginger") within a larger body. It is the political equivalent of gingering, a horse-trading trick used by some farmers.
