The Basic Income Alliance ( German: Bündnis Grundeinkommen, abbreviated BGE) is a German single-issue political party that advocates for an unconditional basic income. [1] It was founded in September 2016 in Munich. [2] The Basic Income Alliance gained 97,539 votes at the German federal election 2017 and reached 0.2%.
