A merger of two once-largest parties, PP and DP, to consolidate their position in order to rival the then-ruling LF. Although the largest party, its political fortunes remained stagnant. A group of members left and, together with several others from LF, established SPA. After the 1959 GE, more crossed over to SPA. Before the 1963 GE, it was dissolved by the remnants, led by Mrs Felice Leon-Soh, who then stood as independent candidates.
