People's Alliance

The People's Alliance is a right-wing and conservative party in the Franco-British Union, and has been the ruling party since the beginning of the Cold War. The PA is often considered to be a big tent "party of power", straddling the line between party and electoral coalition with its myriad internal factions. Formed in 1949 by British and French conservatives to serve as a political alliance in the recently-formed Union, the party soon began to diversify, bringing social liberals and even right-wing social democrats into its fold. However, the party also includes large groups of hardliners, such as national conservatives and militarists known as "lion conservatives". The People's Alliance today is largely united by its desire to preserve the British and French states and free market capitalism.

Democratic Movement
The Democratic Movement (French: Mouvement démocratique) is considered to be one of the two largest factions of the PA, along with the Union for Progress. It is considered to be the main party of the "lion conservatives", with a militaristic outlook on foreign policy in the name of fighting communism, and is also supportive of building up the security state and law enforcement institutions. They tend to have a broadly conservative social outlook, but tend not to be openly reactionary, instead tending to be in favour of the status quo, believing it to be the key to social cohesion and stability. Economically, they support the managerial and de facto corporatist approach that has been the status quo in Franco-British society during the PA's decades in power. They are also influenced by Keynesian economics, but unlike most Keynesians, they consider the best way to put those ideas into practice to be to increase investment in military equipment and infrastructure.
