The United Democratic Left (Greek Ενιαία Δημοκρατική Αριστερά, abbreviated ΕΔΑ - EDA) was founded in [[1953]] as the only legal left-wing political party of its era.

Originally, it was a coalition of left-wing parties that were not outlawed in the aftermath of the [[Greek Civil War]]. Its core were communists who had belonged to the [[Greek Communist Party]] (KKE).

The greatest success of EDA came in [[1958]] when they drew 24.4% of the vote and formed the main opposition to [[Constantine Karamanlis|Karamanlis']] [[ERE]].

The party was headed by [[Elias Iliou]]. Among others it elected [[Mikis Theodorakis]] and [[Grigoris Lambrakis]] to the Greek Parliament.

After [[1974]], the Greek Communist Party was legalised and EDA ceased to exist as a force in Greek politics.
