The '''Progressive Alliance''' ({{wpl|Frisian Language|Dellish}}: Progressyf Alliânsje, {{wpl|German Language|Weranian}}: Progressive Allianz, {{wpl|Anglo-Frisian_languages#Anglic_languages|Swathish}}: Progrvẹrcic Vyncynn, {{wpl|Estonian Language|Kirenian}}: Progressiivne liit), formerly the Alliance for Alslandic Socialism is a {{wpl|Political alliance}} in [[Alsland]] formed by the [[List of political parties in Alsland|Social Democratic Alliance]], [[List of political parties in Alsland|Social Democrats in Delland]], [[List of political parties in Alsland|Socialist Party]] and the [[List of political parties in Alsland|Radical Front]] in 1956 to contest the [[Alsland|1957 Alslandic legislative election]].

==History==
===Founding===
===Founding===
With the 1956 General election approaching, Premier [[List of Premiers of Alsland|Witte Reitsma]] met with other centre-left and left wing political leaders in an attempt to maximise left-wing representation in the [[Folkssenaat]]. An informal alliance already existed between the Socialist Party which was at the time a federal party and the Social Democrats in Delland who had cooperated after the resignation of [[List of Premiers of Alsland|Samuel Hudson]].
===Social Democratic Bloc===
 
After meeting with the leaders of the Social Democratic Alliance, Socialist Party, [[List of political parties in Alsland|Alslandic Section of the Worker's International]] and the Radical Front, Reitsma announced the creation of the 'United Socialist Front'. In the election the alliance won 2/3rds of all seats in the Folkssenaat.
 
Following the election it was Reitsma's stated intention to disband the alliance but the better than expected result and the founding of the National Bloc persuaded him to reach out to the other leaders and establish a permanent alliance.
 
After several rounds of negotiations the Socialist Party, Social Democratic Alliance and Social Democrats in Delland formed the 'Alliance for Alslandic Socialism'. At the time the alliance was denounced by ASAY politicians who withdrew support from the government after being removed from the initial negotiations. The alliance members agreed to not stand candidates against each other to maximise the seats they can gain in an election and all member parties would work together to form future governments.
 
After their membership was rejected from the Alliance, the Radical Front and ASAY formed the short lived 'Worker's Agreement' although the Radical Front adopted more socially conservative and economically liberal stances and finally merged with the Estmerish National Party to form the [[List of political parties in Alsland|Swathish People's Party]] in 1977.

===Martiland===
Throughout most of the alliance's history, it has denied ethnic Kirenians in Martiland proper representation in the alliance, instead from 1958 until 1995 the SDyD ran candidates in Martiland. Members of the SDyD were the most vocal in their opposition to including any Kirenian party in the alliance. Under the leadership of Seine De Haan in 1994 the party condemned the inclusion of the Kirenian People's Party. The SDyD was fined €1.2 Million for promoting hate speech directed at ethnic Kirenians in Martiland by the Alslandic supreme court in 1996. The decision was not appealed but was criticised by various SDyD politicians including newly elected leader Bonne Zijlstra.

In 2004, Premier Martina Scott's new cabinet was criticised for not including any members of the KPP or ethnic Kirenians. The cabinet led to the KPP threatening to withdraw from the Progressive Alliance and withdraw it's support for the government. In the subsequent election the KPP didn't endorse Scott who lost the election and was forced to resign.

In the subsequent election the KPP ran a separate list from the rest of the bloc which suffered it's worst election result in history.

===Yndyk dispute===
The Yndyk dispute refers to a dispute within the Social Democrats in Delland between party officials and the local parties in Yndyk and Middewald who prefer splitting the party in 3. Only 2 leaders of the SDyD were born outside of Delland. The Yndyk branch of the SDyD separated briefly in 2011 over the issue and were subsequently removed from the Alliance. The Alliance threatened to run candidates against the Yndyk Socialists unless it re-joined the SDyD which it did shortly afterwards. In 2022 a report on creating a separate party for Middewald and Yndyk alleged that the new party wouldn't result in any significant benefits for the Alliance.

The Progressive Alliance (Dellish: Progressyf Alliânsje, Weranian: Progressive Allianz, Swathish: Progrvẹrcic Vyncynn, Kirenian: Progressiivne liit) also commonely referred to as the Progressives or the Alliance, is a social-democratic bloc in Alsland. It consists of the Kirenian People's Party (KRP), the Social Democratic Alliance (SDA), the Social Democrats in Delland (SDyD) and the Swathish Socialist Party (SF). The SDA, SDyD and SF are members of the Socialist Alternative for Euclea whilst the KRP is a member of the Alliance for a Federal and Regionalist Euclea.

Historically the Progressive Alliance was the major catch-all bloc of the Alslandic centre-left and has connections to socialist trade unions. It is the largest political alliance of the 'Socialist' pillar of Alslandic society. Since 2011 the Alliance has moved closer towards adopting centrist positions and has a large and influential social liberal wing.

The alliance is one of three political alliances in Alsland with the other being the National Bloc and Together for the Republic. Each bloc is seen as political opponents to each other. Members of the alliance agree not to stand candidates in communities which another member party stands candidates in.

Controversies

Martiland

Throughout most of the alliance's history, it has denied ethnic Kirenians in Martiland proper representation in the alliance, instead from 1958 until 1995 the SDyD ran candidates in Martiland. Members of the SDyD were the most vocal in their opposition to including any Kirenian party in the alliance. Under the leadership of Seine De Haan in 1994 the party condemned the inclusion of the Kirenian People's Party. The SDyD was fined €1.2 Million for promoting hate speech directed at ethnic Kirenians in Martiland by the Alslandic supreme court in 1996. The decision was not appealed but was criticised by various SDyD politicians including newly elected leader Bonne Zijlstra.

In 2004, Premier Martina Scott's new cabinet was criticised for not including any members of the KPP or ethnic Kirenians. The cabinet led to the KPP threatening to withdraw from the Progressive Alliance and withdraw it's support for the government. In the subsequent election the KPP ran a separate list from the rest of the bloc which suffered it's worst election result in history.

Yndyk dispute

The Yndyk dispute refers to a dispute within the Social Democrats in Delland between party officials and the local parties in Yndyk and Middewald who prefer splitting the party in 3. Only 2 leaders of the SDyD were born outside of Delland. The Yndyk branch of the SDyD separated briefly in 2011 over the issue and were subsequently removed from the Alliance. The Alliance threatened to run candidates against the Yndyk Socialists unless it re-joined the SDyD which it did shortly afterwards. In 2022 a report on creating a separate party for Middewald and Yndyk alleged that the new party wouldn't result in any significant benefits for the Alliance.
