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.
