Alliance for Change (UK)

Alliance for Change (UK)

The Alliance for Change is a political organisation in the United Kingdom. Founded in early 2005, its aim is to provide an electoral slate on which independent candidates and those from minor parties can stand. It believes that this method will provide its candidates with more publicity and allow them to more easily fulfil electoral regulations, which it regards as unjust and designed to promote a two- or three-party system.

Prospective candidates for the Alliance must agree to a list of core policies of human rights. These broadly left wing proposals include detailed policies on certain areas, such as voluntary euthanasia. If they agree to these, they can then use the Alliance's name in an election, with a suffix stating one of the candidate's policies.

Three Alliance for Change candidates stood in the 2005 UK general election, none receiving more than 125 votes. They then stood in the first two Parliamentary by-elections of the session, with John William Allman running under their banner in the Cheadle in Summer 2005 and in the Livingston vote in Autumn 2005. His suffix was "Suffering Little Children".
