The Left List - Green Red Alliance (Weranian: Linke Liste - Grüne Rote Bündnis; Ruttish: Kairysis sąrašas – Žalioji Raudonoji aljansas) is an electoral alliance in Werania consisting of the Green Party and the Socialist Workers' Party of Werania formed to contest the Next Weranian federal election.

History

In the 2019 Weranian federal election the incumbent Social Democratic Radical-Modern Centre government was heavily defeated with the SRPO getting a smaller share of the vote (albeit more seats) then the centre-left Green Party. Throughout 2020 and 2021 the Greens gained popularity becoming the leading party in Westbrücken and regularly polling above the declining SRPO. As a result in 2021 the SRPO and PMZ merged to form Euclean Werania to challenge the incumbent NKP-led government. As a result the left wing of the SRPO refused to participate in the merger forming the left-wing Socialist Workers' Party of Werania (SAPO).

SAPO would quickly lose ground remaining a minor party whilst EO dislodged the Greens as the main opposition party. However as the NKP's popularity increased ahead of the Next Weranian federal election EO's declined. In order to coordinate a united left-wing front on the 5th March 2023 the Greens and SAPO announced they would run on a common programme, the Left List - Green Red Alliance, and would nominate a single spitzenkandidat.
