The Agricultural Coalition was a right-wing agrarian party in the United Kingdom Malgrave that existed between 1983 and 2014.
History
Shortly around the time of the Epping-Rensk Agreement and the end of the Malgravean Civil War, a series of discussions started to be held about how to best integrate former separatist territories. As part of these discussions, a different series of talks started to form around the status of rural communities in the country, with major complaints focused around the perceived lesser quality of public services and infrastructure in rural areas compared to major urban population centres.
In response to these discussions, Filip Lewandowski announced the formation of a political party designed to advocate for rural communities and promote investment in non-urban areas. Initially, the Agricultural Coalition was rather centrist in outlook and tended to support policies put forward by both the Progressive Unity Party and the Conservative Action Party, however, starting in the 1980s the party started a rightwards shift which only furthered during the Lost Decade.
Within Malgrave, the Agricultural Coalition was seen as somewhat of an embrassment, as the party held extreme social views and tended to take part in wild shenanigans to gain attention in the press. It was these growing extremist acts that led to the party eventually being forcibly dissolved and replaced with the Alliance of Farmers, Fishers and Rurals
Political Platform
Economic Affairs
Initially, the Agricultural Coalition supported a varied approach to economic matters, with a focus on whatever was deemed to support rural communities, however, this began to change in the 80s. At this time, the Agricultural Coalition started advocating for the privatisation of a variety of state-run businesses like MalMart and MalTra with the latter proving to be extremely unpopular with rural voters.
Foreign Policy
The Agricultural Coalition supported protectionist policies on trade, and through its literature frequently praised the Imerian model for its efficiency in protecting rural communities. It famously organised a charitable drive to help relief efforts after Atum bombed Imeriata in the Great Humiliation and attacked supporters of the Future Party which contributed towards the partys dissolution in 2014.
