The Liberal Alliance ((デンマーク語:Liberal Alliance)) is a liberal and libertarian political party in Denmark. Following the 2015 general election, the party has 13 seats in the Folketing. The party is a component of the centre-right bloc in Danish politics along with the Liberal Party, Conservative People's Party and Danish People's Party.〔 ==History== The party was founded on 7 May 2007 as the New Alliance ((デンマーク語:Ny Alliance)) by Naser Khader MP, Anders Samuelsen MEP from the Social Liberal Party and Gitte Seeberg, a Conservative People's Party MEP.〔 The party supported the government of the Liberal Party and Conservative People's Party.〔 To comply with Danish election law, and to be able to stand for elections the Liberal Alliance had to gather 19,185 signatures of supporters on special forms, the number being equivalent to one parliamentary seat in the Folketing. Each completed form had to be certified with the civil registry offices of municipalities before being collectively handed in to the Ministry of the Interior. In the event of an election being called before the Liberal Alliance had finished its nomination process, the minor party Centre Democrats offered to let the Liberal Alliance put forward candidates on their lists. The Liberal Alliance did not take any stand on this offer, however. On one occasion, on 12 May in Horsens, the three leading figures of the party managed to collect over 2,000 signatures in one day. On 21 May the party reported they were half-way, having gathered in 10,000 signatures. The party finally completed its nomination process on 29 June by being accepted on the Ministry of the Interior's list of parties able to stand for elections to the Folketing after handing in the 21,516 required signatures. Immediately after its creation, Liberal Alliance had a surge of members. 24 hours after the announcement of the party, more than 12,000 had registered on the party website. Three days later 16,000 had registered and 8,000 of these had paid the membership fee. On 30 August 2007, the party presented a policy programme.〔 〕 Some of the points in this programme included: Longer mandatory school attendance, with free food and homework aid; a European Marshall Plan to the Middle East; increasing foreign aid to 1% of GDP; increased focus on prevention in public health, with lower prices on healthy foods; and an exhaustive reform related to immigration and asylum politics.〔 〕 In the 2007 general election held on 13 November 2007, the party won 2.8% of the vote, winning 5 of 179 seats in the Danish Parliament. On 29 January 2008, founding member Gitte Seeberg left the party in protest against the party's status as a right-wing party, which conflicted with her own desire to form a centrist party while rejecting the influence of the Danish People's Party. A week later, on 5 February 2008, another of the party's members of parliament, Malou Aamund, left the party and joined the governing Liberal Party. On 24 June 2008 Jørgen Poulsen was excluded from the Liberal Alliance's parliamentary group, though not from the party itself. Under the new leadership of Anders Samuelsen, the party position moved towards the right, espousing economic liberalism and libertarian policies,〔 with the party changing its name to the Liberal Alliance on 27 August 2008. On 1 September 2008, the party regained a third mandate in the parliament, as Gitte Seeberg was appointed secretary general of the Danish branch of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). Her mandate was given to former deputy mayor of Slagelse, Villum Christensen. On 5 January 2009, founding member and party leader Naser Khader left the party, citing that he did not believe in it any longer.〔http://nyhederne.tv2.dk/politik/article.php/id-19620126.html〕 At the time, Anders Samuelsen was scheduled to take over leadership of the party later that month. The same day, Villum Christensen expressed doubt on his future in the party.〔http://nyhederne.tv2.dk/politik/article.php/id-19624031.html〕 In the 2009 European election, the party won 0.59% of the vote, leaving the party without representation in the European parliament. At the 2011 general election on 15 September 2011, the party won 5.0% of the vote, and 9 seats. When Malou Aamund resigned from the Folketing in June 2011, she was replaced by Professor Niels Høiby, who took his seat with the Liberal Alliance, taking their contingent in four. In the 2014 European election, the Liberal Alliance received 2.9% of the vote, again failing to return any MEPs.〔http://dst.dk/valg/Valg1475795/valgopg/valgopgHL.htm〕 In the 2015 general election held on 18 June 2015, the party won 7.5% of the vote, and 13 seats in the Folketing. The party does not participate in the second cabinet of LL Rasmussen. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Liberal Alliance (Denmark)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
