AHC: A Jewish Political Party

Your mission is: Create a scenario, with a POD since 1900, leading to the existence of an explicitly Jewish political party within the context of a modern democracy (excluding Israel or any equivalent nation in another TL). The party need not be militant or extreme (though it can be), and must be significant enough to get candidates elected to a national parliament (or equivalent) on at least a semi-regular basis.

That's easy. There was a Jewish Party in Romania, which would get several seats in parliament every so often, before 1938. So all you'd need would be a way to both butterfly away Antonescu and to keep Romania neutral, and you have your Jewish Party.
 
Yeah, basically you have to do away the holocaust and reduce emmigration to Palestine and you would have them all over Eastern Europe.

Even more likely in multiethnic states (Zarist Russia, AH, Pre-war Czechoslovakia) as Jews would be more likely to be recognized (and accepted) as an ethnic group and not only a religion there.

Also possible if we have larger jewish emmigration to a younger country (Argentinia, Rhodesia, South Africa, ...). Maybe also in an independent New England.
