More Direct Democracy (MDD) is a Dutch political party that was represented in the European Parliament between its establishment in 2021 and 2024.
The party was founded by Dorien Rookmaker, who became a member of the European Parliament in February 2020; initially representing Groep Otten, and then as an independent. Rookmaker is also the chair of the party. Starting on 8 December 8, 2021, the party was part of the faction of the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECH).
The party does not have its own election manifesto, but rather is a platform for representatives who each make their own choices. The party participated in the European elections in June 2024 and lost its seat.
MDD was a member of the European Alliance for Freedom and Democracy (EAFD), a European party that focused on anti-corruption and support for the rule of law. The EAFD was disbanded in 2023.
