The party was led by business magnateLouis Luyt, and founded in 1998.^[1]They later joined theDemocratic Party and theNew National Party to form theDemocratic Alliance^[2] but eventually broke away. The party did not contest thegeneral election in 2004, instead fielding two candidates to the Gauteng Provincial Legislature on the DA's electoral lists. The FA gained these two seats in 2005 when the MPLs defected during the floor crossing window. This soured its relationship with the DA^[3] and ended all co-operation between the two parties.
