Electoral alliance

So, you know how at recess you might team up with your best friend to play a game of kickball against some other kids? Well, electoral alliances are kind of like that, but with political parties.

When there are elections for important positions, like the president or a governor, different political parties will try to get as many people as possible to vote for them. Sometimes, one party might decide to team up with another party to try to win more votes.

So, just like how you and your friend work together to win a game, political parties might form an electoral alliance and work together to win an election. This means they agree to support each other's candidates and campaigns, and they might even share resources like money and volunteers.

Electoral alliances can also help smaller political parties have a better chance of winning, because they can team up with a bigger party that has more support.

So, think of it like a big game of kickball, but instead of just two teams, there are lots of different parties trying to win. And sometimes, they team up to try to win together!
