Answer

Before 1931, Arthur Meighen represented the Nationalist Party in the Senate. The Nationalist Party was a right-wing party that was formed in 1927 by a group of former members of the Conservative Party. The Nationalist Party was opposed to the policies of the Liberal government of William Lyon Mackenzie King, and it advocated for a more conservative approach to government.
