Non-aligned Coalition
conservative political party in the Åland Islands
The Non-aligned Coalition (Swedish: Obunden Samling) is a conservative political party on the Åland Islands. It was founded in 1987.
In 2013 it was announced that the party would merge with the Moderates. All of the party's parliament members joined the Moderates to form Moderate Coalition for Åland. However the party survived as one of the original founders Bert Häggblom returned to recreate the party with new members.
History
The party was founded in 1987, mostly by young members who broke away from the Åländsk Center.
Gradually, the party has developed increasingly comprehensive election programmes and won seats in the Parliament of Åland with constantly increasing election figures, including at the municipal level, except for the 2003 election. Unbound Collection was the fourth largest party in terms of seat distribution in the Åland Parliament during the 2006-2011 term. However, the party has not won more than five seats. Åland's municipal councils have been filled by 24 representatives of Obunden samling since the 2011 election.

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 2, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q2113701. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1987, 2013, 2003 and 2006.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
