History

The Progress Coalition was founded in 1976 in response to the adoption of the STV voting system by the Olmerian People's Senate. The new proportional voting system forced the previously dominating Olmerian Socialist Union (OSU) to combine with similar parties OWP and TUSC in order to ensure continued election success.
