The Independent Alliance was an Irish political grouping formed in March 2015 by independent politicians. It was founded by Shane Ross and Michael Fitzmaurice. It is not a political party, and has stated that it will not impose any whip on elected members, except where the group has agreed to support a government on confidence motions. Following the 2016 general election their members became part of a minority government with Fine Gael and other non-aligned Independent ministers. With no policies or whip, and with members from across the right-left political spectrum, the alliance did not have a cohesive ideology. The group's website set out a list of "principles and priorities" based around general themes of political reform that the alliance had claimed would form a charter for its election candidates. The group regarded whips as "a regressive force in Irish politics". More information...
