The Union des forces progressistes (French pronunciation: [ynjɔ̃ de fɔʁsə pʁɔɡʁɛsist], UFP) was a left-wing political party in Quebec, Canada, active from 2002 to 2006.
The Union des Forces Progressistes (UFP) was formed in 2002 out of desire to unite Québec's leftists into a political party.
The aim of the UFP was to bring together progressive forces across the broad left wing of the political spectrum, including social democrats, socialists and communists.
The UFP opposed globalization, privatization, and deregulation, and called for increased funding of social services, higher taxes on the rich and business, proportional representation in the National Assembly of Quebec, and an alternative economy based upon co-operatives and nonprofit organizations.
To solve the national question, the UFP suggested the creation of a Constituent Assembly, mandated to draw up and propose to the population, via referendum, a Constitution for a progressive, republican, secular, and democratic Québec.
