The '''Progressive Alliance''' ({{wpl|Frisian Language|Dellish}}: Progressyf Alliânsje, {{wpl|German Language|Weranian}}: Progressive Allianz, {{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 [[1956 Alslandic general election]].
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) also commonly referred to as the '''Progressives''' or the '''Alliance''', is a {{wpl|Progressivism|progressive}} {{wpl|Centre-left politics|centre-left}} [[List of political parties in Alsland|political party]] in Alsland. The Alliance is a member of the [[Socialist Alternative for Euclea]].  


The alliance is one of two political alliances in Alsland with the other being the [[National Bloc (Alsland)|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.
The Progressive Alliance was founded on 9 February 2006 by centre-left members of the [[Worker's Party (Alsland)|Social Democratic Workers' Party]] who disagreed with the party's shift towards the left and alliance with the [[Alslandic Section of the Workers' International]]. It is the largest political alliance of the 'Socialist' pillar of Alslandic society. Since 2011 the Alliance has moved closer towards adopting {{wpl|Centrism|centrist}} positions and has a large and influential {{wpl|Social Liberalism|social liberal}} wing. Since 2017 the party has been led by [[Ottila Möller]] - the daughter of [[Per Schnyder]] who was one of the main founders of the Alliance. Prior to 2022 it had close links to the [[Democratic Federation of Alslandic Labour]], the second largest trade union in Alsland although the Union voted to abolish all ties with the party. The PA is a supporter of Alslandic membership in the [[Euclean Community]], since 2010 it has been a coalition partner of [[Liveable Alsland]], the [[National Bloc (Alsland)|National Bloc]] and the [[Humanist Sotirian Union]].


The party won only 7 seats at the [[Alsland|2006 legislative election]] and sat with other {{wpl|Centre-right politics|centre-right}} parties in opposition to the [[Jabik Nieuwenhuis|Nieuwenhuis coalition]]. The Alliance also became the second largest party after the 2009 municipal elections. At the [[Alsland|2018 legislative election]] the party grew it's number of seats from 10 to 35 and won 18.5% of the popular vote. Since the [[2022 Alslandic legislative election|2022 election]] the party has been in merger talks with the [[Social Democratic Workers' Party (Alsland)|Social Democratic Workers' Party]] and the [[Green - Alternative Choice]] to unite into a single political party

===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]] in the during the 1952 General election.

===Policy overview===
* Economy and Finance
** Larger {{wpl|Welfare state}}
** Greater role for Trade Unions
** Oppose expansion to 'Buy Euclean' programs
** Increased spending
** Social market economy


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.
* Social and federal affairs
** Reduction in Non-EC and unskilled immigration
** Official language status for {{wpl|Estonian language|Kirenian}}
** Environmentalism
** Commitment to Net-Zero emissions by 2050
** Directly elected Premier


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.
* Foreign affairs
 
** {{wpl|Pro-Europeanism|Pro-Eucleanism}}
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.
** [[ECDTO]] membership
 
** {{wpl|Internationalism (Politics)|Internationalism}}
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 [[List of political parties in Alsland|Democrats]] 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.

The Progressive Alliance (Dellish: Progressyf Alliânsje, Weranian: Progressive Allianz, Swathish: Progrvẹrcic Vyncynn, Kirenian: Progressiivne liit) also commonly referred to as the Progressives or the Alliance, is a progressive centre-left political party in Alsland. The Alliance is a member of the Socialist Alternative for Euclea.

The Progressive Alliance was founded on 9 February 2006 by centre-left members of the Social Democratic Workers' Party who disagreed with the party's shift towards the left and alliance with the Alslandic Section of the Workers' International. 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. Since 2017 the party has been led by Ottila Möller - the daughter of Per Schnyder who was one of the main founders of the Alliance. Prior to 2022 it had close links to the Democratic Federation of Alslandic Labour, the second largest trade union in Alsland although the Union voted to abolish all ties with the party. The PA is a supporter of Alslandic membership in the Euclean Community, since 2010 it has been a coalition partner of Liveable Alsland, the National Bloc and the Humanist Sotirian Union.

The party won only 7 seats at the 2006 legislative election and sat with other centre-right parties in opposition to the Nieuwenhuis coalition.
