The Pacitalian Social Coalition (Pacitalian: Allianza Socialista Pacitaliana) is a major political party in the Democratic Capitalist Republic of Pacitalia. The party is currently the second-largest in the Constazione Ampoliticato Federali with 163 of 647 seats. After a leadership scuffle and a election-funding scandal, the PSC dropped to third and thusly allowed the Greens to form the official opposition in the 2004 election. However, the PSC recovered thanks to the leadership of Fernando Chiovitti in the January 2006 elections and is once again the opposition.

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.
