The Retainer Party, Retainer Coalition, or Pink Coalition refer to a semi-official alliance between the Union for National Solidarity and pro-monarchy members of the Social Labor Party in the Concilium Daoni. The Coalition, established in September 2017, was formed in the wake of the vote scheduling the 2018 Urcean institutional referendum on the future of the Monarchy.
The Retainer Party aims to be the primary pro-Monarchy campaign arm in the 2018 Urcean institutional referendum as its primary purpose. It additionally functions as an organized bi-partisan opposition to the majority National Pact elected in 2015, and seeks to preserve's Urcea's welfare state and the present Constitution of Urcea.
Nomenclature
The official coalition between the Organic Caucus and Union for National Solidarity in the Concilium Daoni has no official title beyond that of "His Most Christian Majesty's Loyal Opposition". The name "Retainer" comes from the official phrasing of the 2018 Urcean institutional referendum answers, which includes "Retain the Monarchy" as a referendum answer. "Retainer" has become the most popular and widely used term to refer to the group, but "Pink Coalition" - from the Social Labor Party's red and Union for National Solidarity's purple - has also been used in some publications.
Background
The 2015 Urcean political realignment dissolution of the Commonwealth Union into the Union for National Solidarity and Social Labor Party was a result of rival factions within the former party. While the two factions largely solidified around two opposing political philosophies - Wittonian Socialism for the Union of National Solidarity and Democratic Socialism for the Social Labor Party - agreements on some issues remained between members of the two parties. Chief among these was a belief in the extant Constitution of Urcea, a belief challenged by the merger of the Republican Party into the new Social Labor Party. In September of 2017, the Social Labor Party voted to adopt republicanism as part of its official party platform over the objections of a significant minority group within the party. For much of September 2017, public disagreements began between party members, creating serious threats to party unity.
