The Peoples Decide (Spanish: Los Pueblos Deciden, Galician: Os Pobos Deciden, Basque: Herriek Erabaki, Aragonese: Os Pueblos Deciden, Asturian: Los Pueblos Deciden; LPD) is a Spanish electoral list in the European Parliament election in 2014 made up from left-wing pro-independence parties.

The components of the list were:

In the Basque Country and Navarre: EH Bildu and Gorripidea^[1]^[2]
In the Canary Islands: Canarian Nationalist Alternative (ANC) and Unidad del Pueblo (UP).^[3]
In Galicia: Galician Nationalist Bloc (BNG)^[4]
In Asturies: Andecha Astur^[5]
In Aragón: Puyalón de Cuchas^[6]

The head of the list was Josu Juaristi (EH Bildu) followed by Ana Miranda Paz (BNG). The writer Suso de Toro was also present in the list, within the quota of the BNG. If LPD won a single seat, EH Bildu and the BNG agreed to divide the legislature based on the votes of the list in the Basque Country, Navarre and Galicia.
