The Alliance, in New Zealand politics, is a left-wing political party. The party is currently outside parliament, but has previously been a significant presence there. It suffered a major setback after Jim Anderton, the party's leader, left the party in 2002, taking several of the party's MPs. Some commentators predicted the demise of the party but it stood candidates in the 2002 and 2005 elections.
