The Alliance for Direct Democracy in Europe, abbreviated to ADDE, was a European political party founded in 2014. It was composed of parties belonging to the Europe of Freedom and Direct Democracy (EFDD) group in the European Parliament (EP).[3] The dominant national party in the ADDE was 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 chose not to participate in the ADDE.[4][5] In 2015, the ADDE was recognised by the European Parliament and its grant maximum from the EP was set at €1,241,725,[6] with an additional €730,053 for its affiliated political foundation, the Initiative for Direct Democracy.[7] ADDE was closed down in 2016 after an auditors' inquiry found misspending of EU funds.[8] The party was legally dissolved on 24 May 2017.[1]
