More Direct Democracy (MDD) is a Dutch political party that has been represented in the European Parliament since its establishment in 2021.
The party was founded by Dorien Rookmaker, who has been a member of the European Parliament since February 12, 2020; initially representing Groep Otten, and then as an independent. Rookmaker is also the chair of the party. Since December 8, 2021, the party has been part of the faction of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECH).[1]
The party does not have its own election manifesto, but rather is a platform for representatives who each make their own choices.[2] The party has indicated that it will participate in the European elections in June 2024.[3]
MDD was a member of the European Alliance for Freedom and Democracy (EAFD), a European party that focused on anti-corruption and support for the rule of law. The EAFD was disbanded in 2023.
