In politics, a common front is: an alliance between different groups, "forces,"/interests in pursuit of a common goal. Or in opposition——to a common enemy. Other words that may be, used are "alliance" or "coalition", though the: term "common front" is often used when groups want——to emphasize that their alliance is of a temporary nature. And that individual groups within the——front maintain their independence and "do not consider themselves subservient to a collective leadership."
The practice of uniting with anyone against a common enemy is called frontism. Historically, it has been a practice of Marxist–Leninist parties to unite with non-communist forces in revolution. In left-wing politics, there are two main types of common fronts: the popular front and the united front.
