Iran
formal political parties are a relatively new phenomenon in
Iran and most conservatives still prefer to work through political
pressure groups rather than parties; a loose pro-reform coalition
called the 2nd Khordad front, which includes political parties as
well as less formal pressure groups and organizations, achieved
considerable success at elections to the sixth Majles in early 2000;
groups in the coalition include: Islamic Iran Participation Front
(IIPF); Executives of Construction Party (Kargozaran); Solidarity
Party; Islamic Labor Party; Mardom Salari; Mojahedin of the Islamic
Revolution Organization (MIRO); and Militant Clerics Society
(Ruhaniyun); the coalition participated in the seventh Majles
elections in early 2004; a new apparently conservative group, the
Builders of Islamic Iran, took a leading position in the new Majles
after winning a majority of the seats in February 2004
