The Solidarity Party of Nouvelle Alexandrie (SP or SPNA) is a center-left political party in Nouvelle Alexandrie that has been described as an alliance of social democrats, democratic socialists, and labor unions or organizations. The philosophy of the party blends notions of civil liberty and social equality with support for a mixed economy, serving as a big-tent coalition with influential centrist, progressive, and socialist wings.

Prior to 1697 AN, the Solidarity Party was called the Progressive Federalist Party and it served as the Official Opposition until the Government of National Unity invited the Solidarity Party to join the Government after the collapse of Cambio Democrático.

The Solidarity Party is currently the second largest political party in the Cortes Federales of Nouvelle Alexandrie. It won the third largest amount of seats in the 1693 general elections, but after the collapse of Cambio Democrático, many Deputies from Cambio Democrático defected to the newly formed Solidarity Party in an effort to create a unified leftist front. Corporate governance reform, environmental protection, support for organized labor, expansion of social programs, affordable college tuition, universal health care, equal opportunity, and consumer protection form the core of the party's economic agenda. On social issues, it advocates campaign finance reform, LGBT rights, criminal justice and immigration reform, stricter gun laws, and abortion rights.

In the period leading up to the 1698 general election, neither the Solidarity Party and the Progressive Party, were independently capable of defeating the rising Federal Humanist Party. A movement called "Unite the Left" rose to prominent with the objective of merging the two parties into a single party (or, if this was not possible, to find a power-sharing arrangement between the two parties). Leaders and party members of both parties negotiated for several weeks and announced their merger and joint candidacy lists two days before candidacies closed for the 1698 general election with the formation of the Social Democratic & Liberal Alliance with Robert Beaujolais serving as its first leader.
