The Progressive Alliance (Dellish: Progressyf Alliânsje, Weranian: Progressive Allianz, Kirenian: Progressiivne liit), formerly the Alliance for Alslandic Socialism is a Political alliance in Alsland formed by the Social Democratic Alliance, Social Democrats in Delland, Socialist Party and the Radical Front in 1956 to contest the 1956 Alslandic general election.

The alliance is one of two political alliances in Alsland with the other being the National Bloc. Both are seen as political opponents to each other. Members of the alliance agree not to stand candidates in provinces which another member party stands candidates in.

History

Founding

With the 1956 General election approaching, Premier 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 Samuel Hudson in the during the 1952 General election.

After meeting with the leaders of the Social Democratic Alliance, Socialist Party, 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 ASAI 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 ASAI 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 Democrats in 1977.
