The Progressive Party (initially the Progressive Coalition) is a political party in the New Zealand Parliament.
The Progressive Party was established by a faction of the Alliance, a left-wing party that does not presently hold seats in parliament but which was once the third largest party there.
However, as the Progressives brought fewer seats to the coalition than the Alliance had, the new party's influence was not as great.

 Progressive States Network | Introduction (Agenda)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Progressive States will also act as a "war room" to help legislators respond quickly with legislative amendments, provide expert policy testimony, and generally act as surrogate staff members to help encourage passage of legislation.
Progressives have often failed to counter these wedge issues promoted by the corporate-backed conservative movement and de facto ceded what should be progressives voters to the opposition.
Progressive States' goal is to help legislators promote these common values and issues that reinforce a narrative about improving the lives of their constituents.

 NEW ZEALAND PROGRESSIVE PARTY : Encyclopedia Entry
Initially, the name given to the new organization was the "Progressive Coalition", though this was widely panned because its initials were P.C., which also stands for politically correct (see CCRAP).
The Alliance itself failed to win any seats as it only received 1.27% of the vote in the 2002 elections which meant it was blocked from winning a seat by the 5% threshold, and Laila Harré lost to Lynne Pillay in the Waitakere electorate seat despite an unusually strong showing for a minor party's candidate.
In those elections, the Progressives' vote tailed off slightly to 1.2 percent, but this decline was enough to keep Robson from returning to Parliament even though Anderton easily won his seat.

 Radical campus groups talk unity
After the Feb. 11 panel, it was suggested that radical UF student groups form a progressive coalition in order to give their organizations the support needed to complete with well-funded, conservative student organizations.
As for the coalition, agreements are yet to be made on how it would be structured, and what the unifying principles should be.
More meetings have been scheduled in order to tackle these and other issues, and all groups interested in participating in a progressive coalition have been asked to submit paragraphs to COR stating what unifying principles each group feels should be addressed.

 Progressive Coalition Gears Up for Battle Against Bush Cabinet Nominees
Bush's original choice for labor secretary, Linda Chavez, long opposed the minimum wage and derided the women who file sexual harassment lawsuits as "crybabies." Eight years ago, Chavez criticed Clinton administration appointees for employing undocumented immigrants; Chavez's own nomination was withdrawn due to similar allegations made against her.
On the other hand, he faces a progressive coalition of organized labor, minorities, women, environment and working people that is increasingly mobilized and has increasing energy.
I think there's a widespread sense that there's a good portion of the Democratic coalition in the Congress-the New Democrats and the blue dogs-the conservative and the money side of Congress, which will be happy to deal with Bush on a whole range of issues.
