The Progressive Bloc of Superior is an electoral alliance of liberal and progressive political parties in Superior currently consisting of the Liberal Democratic Party, Farmer Labor Party and Green Party of Superior. Founded in December 2015, it was created by Jennifer Granholm following her victory in the 2015 Superian federal election where she sought to create an electoral alliance as a means of representing the liberal and progressive movements.
The bloc was created on December 5, 2015 after negotations between Granholm and both Atal Bohtar and Peter Olson of the Farmer Labor and Green parties respectively who agreed to joining the bloc in exchange that the alliance by collectively lead by all party leaders, a condition that Granholm agreed to. The Reform Party of Superior would also join the Progressive Bloc under Mark Colton and would remain a part of the alliance until 2018. The coalition's main principals are support for liberal democracy and liberal and progressive values. The bloc is concerned with LGBT rights, climate change, Racial inequality and foreign relations.
As of 2020, the Progressive Bloc holds the largest number of seats in the Parliament of Superior holding a combined 21 seats out of the 42 in the High Council of Superior, 112 seats in the House of Delegates and 18 seats within Superior's delegation to the American Parliament. During elections, it is customary for candidates from Progressive Bloc member parties to not run against candidates from fellow bloc members, instead challenging conservative MPs or cross-bench officials, though some Progressive Bloc officials in Parliament have faced challengers from member parties, though typically without support from their respective party.
