The South Devon Alliance (SDA) was a short-lived minor political party in Teignbridge District, Devon, England.

History

The South Devon Alliance was founded on 23 March 2021.[1] It had emerged out of the "Newton Says No" group, who campaigned to stop housing development within the area.[2][3] In February 2023, two members of Newton Abbot Town Council joined the party.[4] In the 2023 Teignbridge District Council election, the SDA won 9 seats.[5] One candidate was David Knopfler from Dire Straits who contested Ashburton and Buckfastleigh ward.[6] In a 2024 by-election in the same ward the SDA came in second place.[7] Liam Mullone was the South Devon Alliance candidate in Newton Abbot constituency in the 2024 United Kingdom general election. He came in 6th place with 4% of the vote.[8] In November 2024 the party announced it was dissolving as they felt a political party was no longer the best way to represent their interests on Teignbridge District Council.[2]
