	The '''Jacobin Coalition''' was a ~~major political alliance~~ between the [[Green Democratic Party]] and the [[Radical Labor Party]] during the ~~1st Federal Election and 1st Session of~~ Congress. The ~~Coalition was meant to be a unification of the simulation~~'s left ~~wing in order~~ to ~~concentrate power~~ in ~~the~~ Congress and ~~ensure that both parties would have power in~~ the ~~government~~. The ~~Coalition would fall post-politogate~~.		The '''Jacobin Coalition''' was a loose coalition between the [[Green Democratic Party]] and the [[Radical Labor Party]] during the First Congress. The sim's left entered into the coalition to establish majority control in Congress and create a united front against the right-wing. The Radical Labor Party withdrew from the coalition after [[Libertarian Party\|Libertarians]] leaked evidence of an alleged plot by [[Politophile]] to work against the Poke administration's agenda.


	== ~~Creation~~ ==		== Before the First Election ==

	~~Prior~~ to the first federal ~~election~~, the RLP made several deals with other parties to ensure that they would be able to ~~run in the Northern State unopposed~~. In one ~~of these back-room chats~~, ~~an agreement was made with~~ the Green ~~Dems: Form an alliance~~. ~~It wasn't long after that~~ the following terms ~~were drawn up~~:		In the run-up to the first federal elections, the RLP made several deals with other parties to ensure that they would be able to secure as many [[United States House of Representatives\|House]] seats as possible. In one such deal, the Green Democrats agreed to enter into a coalition. Both parties agreed to the following terms:

	1. ~~Have~~ a joint ~~presidential~~ primary.		1. The parties would conduct a joint primary for [[List of Presidents of the United States\|president of the United States]].

	2. ~~Allow the RLP to~~ run candidates ~~on a Green Dem ticket~~ in the ~~south~~, ~~as long as~~ the ~~RLP sent voters to~~ the ~~Southern State~~.		2. The Green Democratic Party would run no candidates in the North, and the parties would run a joint House list in the South on the Green Democratic ticket.

	3. ~~Have Green Dem and RLP~~ cabinet ~~members if presidential victory was secured~~.		3. In the event of a Jacobin victory, the [[List of Presidents of the United States\|president]] would appoint members of both parties to their cabinet.

	4. The ~~creation of~~ a joint platform.		4. The parties would draft a joint platform.

	After both sides agreed to the terms, a discord ~~was created and was the main means~~ of communication ~~for~~ the ~~coalition~~'~~s leadership~~.		After both sides agreed to the terms, they created a discord server as a method of communication between the parties' leaders.


	== ~~Turmoil and Inactivity~~ ==		== In Congress ==

	~~After~~ the ~~first election was over~~, the Coalition ~~slowly~~ lost momentum. A joint platform ~~was never created~~, ~~which led~~ to ~~confusion on what~~ the coalition ~~actually stood for and agreed on~~. ~~This seemed to have angered~~ the Green ~~Dems~~, ~~and they~~ began to feel as if they were being used as pawns by the ~~larger~~ RLP. This ~~lead~~ to the ~~point where Green Democrats actively voted~~ against ~~RLP backed legislation in Congress and openly criticizing~~ President Poke's ~~infamous [[Foundation Executive Orders~~]]. ~~These actions lead to the RLP coming to the conclusion the Green Democrats did not take the alliance seriously.~~		In the elections of February 2018, the Jacobin Coalition secured a majority in both houses of Congress and the presidency. Despite this early success, the coalition quickly lost momentum. Both parties, having never produced a joint platform, began to question why the coalition even existed. Poke's first three executive orders further alienated the Green Democrats, despite the fact that most members of the RLP also opposed the orders. Many members of the Green Democratic Party began to feel as if they were being used as pawns by the more powerful RLP. This led to the rejection of several cabinet appointees and push back against [[Poke\|President Poke's]] agenda in Congress.

	~~However, it is worth to note that both parties kept the alliance going. It is unsure why this was~~ the ~~case; however~~, ~~it has been speculated that both parties found~~ the ~~voting deals to be in their best interest~~.		Despite the loss of support, the coalition continued for several weeks.
