The Pacitalian Social Coalition (Pacitalian: Allianza Socialista Pacitaliana) is a major political party in the Democratic Capitalist Republic of Pacitalia. The party won its first election since 1981 with a narrow victory (in seats) over the incumbent Federation of Progressive Democrats in the October 2006 elections in Pacitalia. It currently holds 265 of the 647 seats in the Constazione Ampoliticato Federali and 117 of the 293 seats in the Senatoro Federali, and is a partner in the grand coalition with the FPD, which won 264 seats in the lower house and retained control of the upper house in the vote on 16th October, 2006.

In anticipation of the FPD's (at least partial) fall from grace in 2006 after a scandal-ridden Constantino Sorantanali government was booted from office, the PSC rebranded with a simpler, more mature red-and-white scheme. Launching its new look during the campaign, on Monday, 25th September, 2006, leader Fernando Chiovitti told reporters the party has moved to the right of its past beliefs, becoming a more economically centrist party, though still espousing 'socially leftist' views. The announcement is expected to help the PSC as it strives to form a government for the first time since 1985: it already leads opinion polls by an average four percentage points [1].

History

The PSC is the only party formed before 1900 that still remains an effective force in government. It has formed the second-most governments (after the now-defunct Conservative party) and has pushed through the most bills of any party (6,035) in its 502-year history as a party.
