PARTY OF THE FUTURE
As you can see we have engaged in a rebrand which has produced a new logo as seen above. Dating back as early in the Summer of 2020 we knew that we were in need of a national identity. We needed to determine who we are as a party, and who is our target support base. following much research we found a void in politics of the future. American politics is consumed with the next election or two but not the overall picture. We are to be the party of the future.
In doing the math and the research we discovered that the future electorate are those born after 1981, It is inevitable that these voters will dominate the electoral scene therefore, as the party of the future our goal is to serve them and lead America into their future by empowering them now. Therefore we have adopted the tagline:
“Own Your Future”

Did you know the constitution doesn’t mention anything about political parties? In fact George Washington in his Farewell Address in 1796 warned against the formation of political parties !!! “… warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of [political] part[ies].” George Washington

Roundtable Discussion with Mark Cardenas
Mar 21st, 2021 by theallianceparty
Mark Cardenas, the Alliance Party’s Florida State Chair, joins Greg and Dan to discuss politics in Florida. Why does Florida get such a bad rap for being at the epicenter of political dysfunction in this nation? The answer is that there is a complex combination of factors, including a highly diverse set of voting blocks, each with their own priorities.
Reaching these diverse voting blocks has been a challenge for both parties, though for the time being, the Republicans have done a much better job of it. They have tuned into the chief concerns of the voting blocks and crafted messages that strongly resonate with voters’ largely religious values. The Democrats, on the other hand, can’t seem to get away from playing defense.
In the meantime, the debate over voting rights threatens to put Republicans on the wrong side of history, as they continue chipping away at voting rights using racially coded messaging, which may, in the long term, alienate the diverse voting blocks they need to win in Florida. All these factors present a good opportunity for the Alliance Party to make a strong showing in the state of Florida.

Wikipedia is the encyclopedia anyone can edit. The pages have been updated.
Darcy Richardson at the Convention last year was introduced in a speech by Brian Moore, a former Socialist Party presidential nominee. Richardson ran that campaign and another one for Moore in 2006.
One of the national-level officials I went to his Facebook page and he was a big Sinn Fein guy.
Someone needs to update the Alliance Party and Darcy Richardson Wikipedia pages. Both still list him as National Chairman.
I’ve always used the category non-left/right parties for them but they seem to tilt slightly to the left.
What is the ideology of this party? Is it a centrist/moderate party? Or is it something else?
Does the Alliance Party claim to be centrist anymore? They initially wanted to appeal to both center-left and center-right, but their platform definitely leans left.
George Washington did not warn against the establishment of political parties. He warned against the “spirit” of partisanship. It’s right there in the quote, but the Alliance Party newsletter uses the quote and then pretends it says something different. Washington was an active Federalist Party leader. He was nonpartisan in his approach, and had leaders of both parties in his cabinet. But there is no doubt that he was a Federalist, not a Democratic-Republican. The main issue that separated the parties during his presidency was foreign affairs. The Federalists hated the French Revolution; the Democrat-Republicans liked it. Washington even had a portrait of Louis XVI hanging in his office when the French ambassador came to call on him. Of course by then the French Revolution had beheaded the king.
I sure hope Darcy is not having any serious health issues.
