The Alliance for Democracy was an electoral coalition of two British political parties, the English Democrats and the Jury Team. The Christian Party, and Veritas were associates.
Its priorities were expanding the use of referenda, promoting non-career politicians, and cleaning up government and the processes surrounding the selection of the prime minister. The Alliance was launched on 10 February 2010.
Following the 2004 European Union elections, representatives of four parties who stood in those elections, Robin Tilbrook and Steve Uncles from the English Democrats, Steve Radford from the Liberal Party, Grahame Leon-Smith from the Senior Citizens Party and Richard Malbon of the Countryside Party met to consider working together in the 2005 General Election. They met twice at the Friends House in Euston Road, London and agreed a common set of principles under which to contend the election, intending to stand enough candidates to obtain a collective party political broadcast. However, the National Executive of the Liberal Party opposed the plan due to some of the policies of the Countryside Party, although that party did not stand at the election.
