The Liberal Alliance (Danish: Liberal Alliance) is a liberal and libertarianpolitical 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.
The party was founded on 7 May 2007 as the New Alliance (Danish: 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.
