the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland
- a political party formed in Northern Ireland in 1970 by people who disagreed with the extreme views of both Catholics and Protestants. The party's original aim was to end the Troubles by bringing together the moderate people from both sides. Now one of its main aims is to support diversity (= including a wider range of types of people) in Northern Ireland.
