Parties
Upon creation in 2005 the following parties joined with SIP and EFP as the founding parties. Next to the parties are their representation in the Coaliton.
- Socialist Internationalist Party (Large)
- Ecological Foundation Party (Large)
- Gaelic Páirtí (Medium)
- Liberal Party (Medium)
- Socialist Labour Party (Medium)
- Muslim Voice (Small)
- Pensioner Party (Small)
- Youth Party (Small)
- Catholic Conservatives (No Deputies or Senators)
- Rainbow (No Deputies or Senators)
Policies
Upon creation the People's Coalition Council drew up the first party manifesto titled, 'A New Start for Niploma'. It created some key points for the Coalition. First and foremost the Coalition was a Social-Democratic party with core green values. In Government it promised to boost enviromental spending by 10% and ensure workers remain defended. However, the then Deputy Torin, caused an economical liberal push. The manifesto also promised, 'We will create a stronger Niploma through a free-market.'
The previous SIP government was full of corruption due to ex-PM Robert and his Cabinet. The Ecological Foundation Party claimed to only support the Coalition if 'corruption was removed from Government'. With the EFP still as a member it is clear anti-corruption is a key policy in the coalition.
Other main policies also include keeping and improving strong relations with The Anumist Alliance. The People's Coalition believes the status of Delegate must be kept in the AA. In addition, most Deputies in the Coalition are pro-UN.
Although a social-democratic party it is now glued into a centre-left position. The additions of ecological values add to the parties colours. In comparison to rivals the Libertarian Reform Party the People's Coalition is more left-wing and not as liberal.
Election
In the Colaition's first election the results were enough to win a Government, but serious loses were made. Together SIP and EFP held 371 but the Coalition now holds 334. The loss in votes is due to mis-trust in Government and McKibben, LRP leader, cult-status.
Unless large changes are made the next-election may end up with reformers in Government.
Leadership
An election is currently being fought within the Coaliton for political leadership of the Coalition.
- Adráin Robert - Leader of SIP and very experianced
- Éibhear Elwes - Leader of EFP and young and respected
- Odhrán Torin - SIP Deputy. Youthful and liked.
- Francis Gardner - Liberal Party Leader. Unknown but vibrant.
Leadership Results
The election battle was closely fought although ended with Torin, the SIP Deputy, winning the job based on his enthusiasm and public support. Although Elwes won the race for the Presidential position he stepped down and handed the job over to PM Robert as he was, 'to be more suited to the job.' Gardener was ejected in the first round.
Council
The People's Coalition has a newly appointed Council of 24 members. The twenty-two consist of President and Leader of each individual party. The remaing two consist of the Leader and President of the Coalition.
Strength and Criticism
It is obvious to the educated majority of Niploma that the People's Coalition is a Coalition clearly for the benefit of the Socialist Internationalist Party. Indeed, several Deputies from the party claimed it was a 'farce' on the behalf of Adrain Robert to get back at McKibben.
Those who do not support the People's Coalition are very scared of it. They realise the huge electoral power it will hold due to the varied supportbase it will get. It effectively supports everyone from the Centre of politics to the left. On the left are parties such as Socialist Labour, a Communistic party that split from the OCWP, of course there are the moderate Socialists (and Reformists) of SIP aswell. Towards the centre there is the growing Liberal Party, effectively a pro-UN 'upper class' party to counter the Libertarian Reform Party (LRP). The second largest party in the Coalition is the Ecological Foundation Party, which uphold leftist values (it is noted for its extreme liberal values) together with ecological principles. There are also the other parties, the already strong Gaelic Páirtí along with several religious groups. Interestingly there is a Conservative party in the Coalition that has gathered interest from the LRP, and has been a subject of criticism. This large group will attract votes.
Regardless of this huge Coalition and its varying parties the Coalition could be very counter-productive. The minor fringe parties in the Coalition may recieve up to 5% of the vote (38 seats) but if some get such small percentages that they do not even get a seat or simply split the vote the Coalition will appear weaker.
It is also odd to note why the President is Adárin Robert, an almost beaten figure in politics, instead of the young Elwes.
McKibben, leader of the LRP, declared after leadership results for the Coalition that it was merely a 'playtoy of SIP'. Indeed, both the Leader and President of the party are from the SIP.
Avoiding criticism Odhrán Torin replied saying that if the Coalition wins Cabinet Deputy positions will be shared proportionally to the parties in the group. 'And of course', Torin exclaimed, 'The Greens are a major part of our Coalition.'
