History

The alliance was established to run in the 1992 elections, and consisted of the Green Party, the Czech National Social Party, the Agrarian Party and the Movement of Farmers and Independents. In the elections to the Czechoslovakian Federal Assembly it won seven seats in the Chamber of the People and five in the Chamber of the Nations. In the elections to the National Council of the Czech Republic the party won 16 seats.[2] The alliance did not run in Slovakia.

Prior to the 1996 elections the parties merged with the Christian Social Union and the Moravian Centre Party to form the Moravian Centre Union. However, the new party received just 0.5% of the vote and failed to win a seat.[3]
