People's Front

Party Overview
The People's Front is a conservative socialist and populist party in the Social Republic of Solentia.

Slogan
The official party slogan since 4327 has been "The People's Front - Putting Solentia's People First".

History
In it's early days, the party supported the Willumburgist Party of Solentia's (WPS) candidate for President. However, there were several disagreements between the parties on matters of policy and in the run up to the first election that the People's Front would be contesting, support for the WPS candidate was withdrawn.

In the first two elections that the People's Front contested, the Austonean Social Democrats and Solentian Democratic Socialists controlled the government and the Communist Party of Solentia (now Socialist Party of Solentia) controlled the presidency. In the third election, Creed10 of the National Conservatives became President and the Fascistiche Nationalbewegung (FNB) controlled the largest share of the parliament. However, the Austoneans and Democratic Socialists controlled the cabinet and were still in government. In 4322, the FNB, National Conservatives and People's Front agreed to propose a cabinet together. The People's Front agreed to stay out of economics as long as they were given all social cabinet positions. This happened due to the FNB, National Conservatives and People's Front all agreed on social issues but the People's Front was the odd one out on economic policy. This agreement actually gave the People's Front considerably more power in the cabinet. Two proposals were submitted. In the first, the National Conservatives disagreed and the other parties would not support it, as they knew it was a lost cause. A second proposal was submitted shortly afterwards and all the proposed coalition partners agreed this time but no other parties would. The People's Front had hoped that the WPS would back the cabinet proposal.

In 4237, the People's Front submitted more proposals. The party has re-emerged onto the pollitical scene, free of the conotations of being an FNB (who are now failing) coalition partner. The party is expected to do well at the next election.
