The Flinders Alliance (FLA) is a localist political party in Flinders Prefecture, Enderron, established in 1980. Its platform is based on Flinderian localism, populism and radical centrism.
The Flinders Alliance was founded by Flinders City councillor Bob Beresford in 1980. It achieved its greatest success in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It won the 1987 gubernatorial election, with Phil Chen becoming the party's first statewide representative. At the corresponding legislative election, the party won 4 of 45 seats, and held the balance of power, choosing to provide the Social Democrats with confidence and supply. It has retained a presence in the assembly ever since. It opposed the Avalon secession movement, and was the main voice in the "No" vote campaign.
The party currently controls the mayorship of Flinders City and is part of the majority bloc on the Flinders City Council.
