The Coalition of Progressive Socialists (Hellenic: Συνασπισμός Προοδευτικών Σοσιαλιστών), also known as the CPS or the Socialists, is a center-left to far-left political party in Lihnidos. The CPS is one of four minor political parties in Lihnidos and the third largest party in the National Assembly. The party was formed in 1965 as a response to the Democratic Coalition's moderation on policy following its rebranding from the Labor Union Party. Since its creation, the CPS's strategy has primarily been to campaign against the Democratic Coalition with the intent to draw left-wing voters discontent with the DC's moderate stance on several issues to the CPS.
The Coalition of Progressive Socialists has never held a majority in the National Assembly and has never held more than nineteen seats. The party was a member of a government coalition with the Democratic Coalition from 1998 to 2002 when the Democratic Coalition failed to secure a majority and form a government following the 1998 general election. In 2002 the Democratic Coalition secured a majority and the coalition did not continue. The 2018 general election resulted in the Socialists gaining two seats, bringing their total seat count to nineteen, the most seats the party has ever secured.
