The Simonov-Pakhomov Blok(SPB) is the Centrist,ruling, Coocoo Nationalist Political Party in Coocoostan. The party was created in 2003 through the alliance of Yuri Simonov's Slavic Front Party and Andrei Pakhomov's Social Revolutionary Party. The Party exists largely on a platform of Coocoo Nationalism, including more autonomy to the Coocoo Autonomous Oblast. Despite this, the Blok won 38% of the seats in the Parliamentary Congress and the presidency for Pakhomov.

Electoral Results

The party has so far contested only one election, on 1 November 2006,taking 9 percent of the vote in the Coocoo Autonomous Oblast, but because the oblast only has one seat in the 215 member parliamentary congress, the decent showing meant nothing, leaving the party bitter. Under a new proportional representation system, the party won 38% of all seats, because of their presenting themselves as a fresh alternative. Pakhomov won a majority vote and was ratified as the 3rd president in national history.

Celebrity Support

The SPB is supported by several celebrities within the country, inlcuding Actress Nadia Malenkova,Hockey Player J.P. Puhdahl and former General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Coocoo SSR, Ruslan Shalimov.
