Overview
The Basic Income Alliance sees an unconditional basic income as a central possibility to counteract what it sees as a widening income gap. Technical progress, the automation of production processes, the resulting unemployment and low-paid gainful employment lead to a division in society that must be overcome in order to maintain social peace.

Other "basic income parties"
There are a number of other political parties in other countries that are formed solely around a universal basic income proposal. These include:
- Basinkomstpartiet, Sweden
- The Basic Income Party, Korea (Korean: 기본소득당; Hanja: 基本所得黨)
- The Base (Dutch: De Basis)
Other political parties also include universal basic income among their policies but do not exclusively focus on it.
