Alliance of Democrats

Alliance of Democrats

The Alliance of Democrats is a loose partnership between the United States Democratic Party, the European Democratic Party and the Council of Asian Liberals and Democrats, which gathers Liberal International members from Asia. After the EDP's first political meeting in Rome in February 2005, the parties established the Alliance, with offices in Brussels and Washington, DC.

The Alliance is not a true political international in the model of the Socialist International and presently unites parties positioning themselves between social-democrats and conservatives. While the Alliance has not published an official manifesto, it mainly consists of political parties that are broadly speaking moderate or centre-left. What has been published by the Alliance, however, seems to point in the direction of a more right-wing stance compared to the Liberal International on issues of international trade deregulation and foreign policy and more to the left of it on economic policy and welfare.

The Alliance is led by three co-Chairs: François Bayrou, Francesco Rutelli and Ellen Tauscher.

Observer members of the Alliance include both members of the Centrist Democrat International (the Christian Democrat Party of Chile) and the Liberal International (the Senegalese Democratic Party), as long as former members of Socialist International (the Indian National Congress) and the International Democrat Union (Kadima).
