The Farmers' Alliance is an agrarian Irish political party established in 2023.[1] Among its policies, it proposes a crackdown on immigration and opposition to green measures.[2][3]
In April 2023, Caroline van der Plas, leader of the Dutch Farmer–Citizen Movement (BBB), addressed a meeting of the party.[4]
In January 2024, the Electoral Commission gave notice of its intention to approve the party's registration.[5] In February 2024, co-founder Helen O'Sullivan resigned from the party.[6]
The party endorsed a No vote in the 2024 Irish constitutional referendums.[7]
At the 2024 local elections, two candidates stood on behalf of the Farmers' Alliance. Neither were elected, with the party polling only 234 first-preference votes in total.[8]
