File Cduportugal.png thumb right Logo for the electoral alliance Democratic Unity Coalition Portugal An electoral alliance may take the form of a bipartisan electoral agreement , electoral agreement , electoral coalition or electoral bloc . It is an association of political party political parties or individuals which exists solely to stand in elections. Each of the parties within the alliance will have its own policy policies , but will choose temporarily to put aside differences in favour of common goals and ideology. On occasion, an electoral alliance may be formed by parties with very different policy goals, who agree to pool resources in order to stop a particular candidate or party from gaining power. Unlike a coalition formed after an election, the partners in an electoral alliance will usually not run candidates against each other, and will encourage their supporters to vote for candidates from the other members of the alliance. In some agreements where a larger party enjoys a higher degree of success at the polls, the smaller party will field candidates under the banner of the larger party, with the elected members of the smaller party sitting together with the elected members of the larger party in the cabinet or legislature. They will usually, but not inevitably, aim to continue co operation after the election, for example by campaigning together on issues on which they have a common viewpoint. By offering to endorse or nominate a major party s candidate, minor parties can influence the candidate s platform.
