rainbow coalition

In politics, from the mid-1980s, a loose, left-of-centre alliance of people from several different sections of society that are traditionally politically underrepresented, such as nonwhite ethnic groups. Its aims include promoting minority rights and equal opportunities.

‘Rainbow’ is a translation of French Arc-en-Ciel, a name brought into prominence by the Rev Jesse Jackson's campaign seeking to represent an alliance of nonwhite political groupings.
