The Alliance is not a true political international in the model of the Socialist International and presently unites parties positioning themselves between social-democrats and conservatives. While the Alliance has not published an official manifesto, it consists of a broad array of political parties that identify as centre-right, centrist, and centre-left. What has been published by the Alliance.

Members of the Alliance include both members of the Centrist Democrat International (such as the Christian Democrat Party of Chile and the Democratic Union of Catalonia) and the Liberal International (such as most members of the Council of Asian Liberals and Democrats), as well as former members of Socialist International (the Indian National Congress), Israel's relatively new Kadima party, and conservative parties such as the Movement for a Democratic Slovakia and the Democratic Party of Serbia, which is also member of the International Democrat Union.

The Alliance is co-chaired by François Bayrou, Francesco Rutelli and Ellen Tauscher, while since 2008 Gianni Vernetti, who is also co-president of the Italian Liberal Group, is the Alliance's coordinator.

Famous quotes containing the words alliance and/or democrats:

“Racism as a form of skin worship, and as a sickness and a pathological anxiety for America, is so great, until the poor whites—rather than fighting for jobs or education—fight to remain pink and fight to remain white. And therefore they cannot see an alliance with people that they feel to be inherently inferior.”
—Jesse Jackson (b. 1941)

“In all history no class has been enfranchised without some selfish motive underlying. If to-day we could prove to Republicans or Democrats that every woman would vote for their party, we should be enfranchised.”
—Carrie Chapman Catt (1859–1947)
