In 2000, Alliance for Mexico was the name of a political alliance created for the 2000 general elections as an electoral alliance of the Party of the Democratic Revolution, the Labor Party, two small, allegedly Left-wing parties: the Party of the Nationalist Society (which was proved to be a business of a family) and Convergence for the Democracy, founded by ex-PRI dissidents and another one, the Party of Social Action, founded by the remnants of the sinarquism, which occupy the far-right spectrum in Mexico. The Alliance was created to contest the 2000 general elections, and Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas ran as its presidential candidate. Cárdenas won 17 percent of the vote. The Alliance also won 68 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 17 seats in the Senate.
In the year 2006, Alliance for Mexico was the name of a political alliance created for the 2006 general elections as and electoral alliance of the Institutional Revolutionary Party and the Green Ecologist Party of Mexico. This alliance chose Roberto Madrazo as its candidate for President of Mexico.
