Parties That Left The Alliance
The Free Patriotic Movement of General Michel Aoun left the informal grouping before the 2005 general election, before March 14 was an established alliance, due to major disagreements. After the 2005 elections, The Free Patriotic Movement was alone in the opposition, but was joined one year later by the pro-Syrian government March 8 Alliance in November 2006.
The Progressive Socialist Party left the 14 March movement in August 2011.

—James Keir Hardie (1856–1915)
