British Influence, formally the Centre for British Influence Through Europe, was an independent, cross-party, pro-single market foreign-affairs think tank based in the United Kingdom, founded in 2012 to make the case for the European Union amid increasing calls for British withdrawal from the EU. It appointed Danny Alexander (Liberal Democrat), Kenneth Clarke (Conservative) and Peter Mandelson (Labour) as joint presidents ahead of a possible 2017 referendum. In 2016 it changed its name to The Influence Group and advised UK businesses on the single market.
