#OnThisDay, 25th of November 2010, the United Left Alliance (ULA) was announced.
The alliance of the Socialist Party, Socialist Workers' Party, Workers and Unemployed Action Group (WUAG) and independent leftists contested the 2011 general election, winning five seats.
Disagreements between the parties resulted in first the WUAG and then the SP withdrawing, leaving the alliance essentially defunct by 2013.
