United Left (Slovene: Združena levica, abbreviated ZL) was a left-wing electoral alliance in Slovenia between the Democratic Labour Party [it; sl] (DSD), Party for Sustainable Development of Slovenia [de; it; nl; sl] (TRS), and Initiative for Democratic Socialism (IDS).[1][2] The alliance was also founded by a "fourth group" of non-party civic groups and movements, and autonomous individuals.[5]

On 24 June 2017, two of the constituent parties – TRS and IDS – merged into a single party. The alliance is succeeded by The Left (Slovene: Levica, formerly TRS and IDS), and DSD, which has adopted the new title, ZL-DSD.[3][6]
