Alliance (political bloc)

An alliance (political bloc) is a formal agreement between political parties or groups to cooperate and support each other, usually to achieve common goals or gain more influence in government. These alliances often unite smaller or similar parties to form a stronger, combined front, especially during elections or in legislative decisions. By working together, members can share resources, strategize, and increase their political power, making it easier to shape policies and influence governance. Alliances are common in parliamentary systems, where coalition-building is essential for forming stable governments.
