The Alliance for Direct Democracy in Europe, abbreviated to ADDE, is a European political party founded in 2014. It is composed of parties belonging to the Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy (EFDD) group in the European Parliament (EP).[1] The dominant national party in the ADDE is the UK Independence Party (UKIP), providing 21 of the party's 27 members of the European Parliament (MEPs) elected in 2014. A further three UKIP MEPs have chosen not to participate in the ADDE.[2][3] In 2015 the ADDE was recognised by the European Parliament and its grant maximum from the EP was set at € 1,241,725,[4] with an additional € 730,053 for its affiliated political foundation, the Initiative for Direct Democracy.[5]
