The Coalition has been in power since 2010 when they defeated The West Phoenician Empire First Party.

In February 2019, The Conservative Party of West Phoenicia and The Antebellum Party merged to create a more powerful voting bloc. The merger  allowed both parties to focus more on their opposition than each other when attempting to woo candidates.

At the 2019 West Phoenician General Election; the Coalition won their second term with an increased majority..

Jimmy Bain, former leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister of West Phoenicia since 2015 chose to step down and not run for reelection in the 2019 election.

The Coalition won 845 seats out of the 1590 on offer, giving them the ability to run government without the support of the Crossbench. However if needed they can usually rely on votes from their right wing allies, Nationalist Party of West Phoenicia and the West Phoenicia Prohibition Party giving the Coalition a supermajority.
