I think I would call that a cross-party alliance.

There are similarities and a couple nuances as far as I'm concerned.

A cross-party alliance is when people of different parties agree, but to me, those views may still be held by both parties. Meaning the two parties may have formed an alliance because on this particular issue they agree.

For your original sentence, I would probably say across party allegia
