	Alliance Party of Northern Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alliance expressly aimed to act as a bridge between the Protestant and Catholic sections of the community, with a secondary goal of attracting support from Northern Ireland's Jewish community and its small but steadily growing Asian (Chinese, Indian, Pakistani) population, the vast majority of which are neither Catholic nor Protestant.
		The Party's founding principles were expressly in favour of Northern Ireland remaining part of the United Kingdom, although in contrast to the Unionist parties, this was expressed in socio-economic rather than ethnic terms.
		Alliance was seriously damaged by the IRA Hunger Strike of 1981, which deeply polarised Northern Ireland politics, and indirectly led to the emergence of Sinn Féin as a serious political force.

	Canadian Alliance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Alliance was created out of the United Alternative initiative launched by the Reform Party and several provincial Tory parties as a vehicle to merge with the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada.
		The Canadian Alliance's origins were in the Reform Party of Canada, which was founded in 1987 as a populist party but which moved to the right and became a conservative party shortly thereafter.
		On December 8, the party was officially registered with Elections Canada, and on March 20, 2004, former Alliance leader Stephen Harper was elected as leader of the new party.

		The New Alliance Party was an American political party formed by psychotherapists Fred Newman and Lenora Fulani.

		Fulani also entered the New Hampshire primary for the Democratic Party Presidential nomination in 1992, and gained some press coverage for frequent heckling of Bill Clinton's campaign appearances after she was excluded from the New Hampshire Democratic debates.

	The New Party Alliance - Dr.Fulani's Snake-Oil Show (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The New Alliance Party has long been controversial, thanks largely to its practice of recruiting members through group psychotherapy and to its alliances, over the years, with figures as diverse as the neo-fascist Lyndon LaRouche and the Rev. Al Sharpton.
		In fact, the alliance between political and psychological countercultures was almost certain, sooner or later, to produce a Fred Newman: someone who could join the human potential movement's appeal to desperate and isolated individuals eager for a quick fix and instant community with emotionally resonant outward symbols of social justice.
		The party's raison d'etre is twofold: to massage constantly the egos of its otherwise marginal leadership, particularly Newman and secondarily Fulani; and to keep supporters convinced that something important is occurring every minute, to allow not a moment to pass in which doubt might enter.

		Party leader, Oliver Napier was appointed Head of the Office of Law Reform and his deputy Bob Cooper headed the Department of Manpower Services.

		President Chen Shui-bian's plan to forge a "majority alliance" in the divided Legislature drew mixed reactions in the domestic political arena yesterday.
		Some analysts said it's already too late to form an alliance of lawmakers, but others said Chen stands a good chance of succeeding in organizing such an alliance as the strength of the opposition camp has been weakened over intraparty squabbling.
		Chen said the proposal to form a "majority alliance" is aimed at creating a platform for rational cross-party dialogue and cooperation, not at fanning inter-party confrontation.

		The Farmers' Alliance moved to the forefront of the agrarian revolt in the 1880s, as farmers in the South and West found it increasingly difficult to survive economically.
		Efforts were made in 1889 to bring the two Alliances and the Knights of Labor into a coalition of "producing classes," as well as to cooperate with the Colored Farmers' Alliance, but sectional, racial, and organizational loyalties overrode the groups' common interests.
		The Populist platform that year repeated nearly all the Alliance demands, and although the defeat of the Populists in 1896 finished both the party and the Alliance, many of the reforms they had advocated were adopted over the next half century.

	A Cult By Any Other Name: The New Alliance Party Dismantled and Reincarnated (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		As the dismantled New Alliance Party now reassembles itself within the independent Patriot Party, there is reason to suspect that, though NAP is changing its name, it is not changing its tune.
		With his invention of the New Alliance Party in 1979, Newman began to expand the size and influence of his therapy practice, and eventually established four facilities in New York City as well as individual centers in nine other cities across the country.
		But the national Patriot Party, formed as a result of their efforts, has now been joined by former members of the New Alliance Party, a group that—as this report has illustrated—under various guises has managed to insinuate itself into a broad range of political movements.

	New Zealand's Alliance party splits
		Tensions within the Alliance first surfaced publicly last November, when an attempt was made at a party conference to revoke a unanimous decision by Alliance MPs to support the government’s dispatch of SAS troops to Afghanistan.
		It was prompted by a string of defections from the minor parties, including the right-wing populist NZ First and the Alliance, during the previous government.
		In addition, party leaders have the power to fire an MP if he/she is deemed to have distorted parliamentary “proportionality” by, for instance, consistently voting against a particular party policy.

		A Cult By Any Other Name: The New Alliance Party Dismantled and Reincarnated describes how NAP, which had long claimed to be a champion of the poor and minority communities, announced it was dissolving itself to join forces with the largely white, middle-class, politically-centrist Patriot Party.
		Historically, the 15-year-old New Alliance Party has promoted itself as "Black-led, multi-racial, pro-socialist, pro-gay." Dr. Fred Newman is the party's chief strategist, and works primarily behind the scenes.
		At a convention in April 1994, when independent Perot-type parties from across the country joined to form the National Patriot Party, NAP's influence on the gathering was substantial.

		We knew there was a basis for a process-oriented party and from a cultural standpoint to a political standpoint, we wanted to insure (to the extent possible) that it would be diverse.

		And the Patriot Party in working in coalition with an emerging, even larger movement which goes by the name of the Reform Party (which Perot is forming for '96).
