Coalition of 1950

The Coalition of 1950 was an electoral alliance brokered between the Labour Party of Bancairn and the Bancairn Socialist Party. The union was formed shortly before the General Election, 1950 in order to ensure a strong socialist showing in the elections. The Conservative Party of the time had taken the forefront of right-wing politics after years of coalition inside the National Popular Front-Home Association led by Charles Tombany, and it was essential for the leaders of the LPB and BSP to avoid a Conservative victory.
