Coalition Of Eight Reformist Parties
The Coalition of Eight Reformist Parties ( fa, ائتلاف هشت حزب اصلاحطلب) refers to the political alliance of eight reformist parties that endorsed a joint electoral list for 2020 Iranian legislative election in Tehran electoral district. The group was formed after the main umbrella group of the camp, the Reformists' Council for Policymaking, declared that it won't compile a list as a result of vast disqualifications by the Guardian Council, while allowing the parties within to form their own coalitions. It was one of the two lists spawned from the camp, the other being Friends of Hashemi. The coalition was initially supposed to be formed by twelve parties, and its tentative title was 'Reformists in the Capital'. At last, four of those parties were not present in the coalition and the name ''Etelaf Barayeh Iran'' ( fa, ائتلاف برای ایران, lit=Coalition for Future of Iran) was selected for the list. It was headed by Majid Ansari of Association o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Reformism
Reformism is a political doctrine advocating the reform of an existing system or institution instead of its abolition and replacement. Within the socialist movement, reformism is the view that gradual changes through existing institutions can eventually lead to fundamental changes in a society's political and economic systems. Reformism as a political tendency and hypothesis of social change grew out of opposition to revolutionary socialism, which contends that revolutionary upheaval is a necessary precondition for the structural changes necessary to transform a capitalist system to a qualitatively different socialist system. Responding to a pejorative conception of reformism as non-transformational, non-reformist reform was conceived as a way to prioritize human needs over capitalist needs. As a doctrine, centre-left reformism is distinguished from centre-right or pragmatic reform which instead aims to safeguard and permeate the '' status quo'' by preventing fundamental st ...

Political Party Alliances In Iran
Politics (from , ) is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations among individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status.

History Of The Islamic Republic Of Iran
One of the most dramatic changes in government in Iran's history was seen with the 1979 Iranian Revolution where Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was overthrown and replaced by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. The authoritarian monarchy was replaced by a long-lasting Shiite Islamic totalitarian Islamic republic based on the principle of rule by Islamic jurists, (or "''Velayat-e faqih''"), where Shiite jurists serve as head of state and in many powerful governmental roles. A pro- Western, pro- American foreign policy was exchanged for one of " neither east nor west", said to rest on the three "pillars" of mandatory veil ('' hijab'') for women, and opposition to the United States and Israel. A rapidly modernizing capitalist economy was replaced by a populist and Islamic economy and culture. The leader of the revolution and founder of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, was the Supreme Leader of Iran until his death in 1989. He was followed by Ali Khamenei. General tre ...
