Socialist Alternative

Solidarity also known as the Socialist Alternative is a Socialist and Democratic Socialist political party formed after the Doggerland Communist Party and Doggerland Left voted to merge with each other. It is currently led by Co-Leaders James Cronin and Shawty Forbes, formerly Leaders of the DCP and DL respectively. The current Deputy Leader of the party is Marce Atticon. It is currently the largest party in the Assembly. It is also a member of the Democratic Alliance Group in the Senate

Expulsion from Government
After the Socialist Alternative was formed, Prime Minister Joris Jansen organized a cabinet reshuffle, which removed Shawty Forbes from his position. This was followed by Jansen releasing a statement that the government was cutting ties with SA, effectively moving them to the Opposition. This move was controversial, especially within the SA, since the DL was in Government before the merger and the DCP was in a Confidence and Supply agreement with the Government. Co-Leader James Cronin argued that the Government was turning into a Right-Wing Government instead of a Centrist Government. After their expulsion from the Government, the SA joined the Shadow Cabinet, with Co-Leader Forbes becoming 1st Deputy Leader of the Opposition, Co-Leader Cronin as Shadow Attorney General, Deputy Leader Marce Atticon as Shadow Minister for Technology and former DCP Deputy Leader Sylvia Colson as Shadow Minister for Equality, Families and Young People.

August Senate Elections
The SA ran under the Democratic Alliance Banner for the Senate alongside the Free & Equal Party. They ran Co-Leaders James Cronin in District 2 and Shawty Forbes in District 4. Cronin came in 4th place in District, notably finishing ahead of former PM and Liberal Party Leader Saber Pardón. In District 4 Forbes was elected, replacing Incumbent Senator Ayvind Bjarnason who retired.
