The Social Democratic Party of North Ahjeezistan, better known as the Social Democrats is a major political party in North Ahjeezistan, founded on 1 May 2006 by Bupney Roytiàr. It advocated a middle-ground between Quenri Reptiàr's communist ideas and British Empire loyalists. Part of the Independence Agreement, Quenri Reptiàr was not allowed to contest the first general election. It defeated the Liberal, Conservative and Liberal Democratic Parties to win the first North Ahjeezistan general election, held on 3 October 2006. It became North Ahjeezistan's dominant political party, and remained so until defeat by Lord Madingley in the 20th general election. It nevertheless remained the champion of left-of-centre thought in North Ahjeezistan, and won the 23rd general election under moderate Lord Tom Allen.
The party entered its "dark age" after Allen's defeat by radical Green Lady Averley in the 26th general election. Throughout Lord Arlonway's Premiership, the party was a weak opposition, multiple times gaining and proceeding to lose the lead in popular opinion. It was the opposition for over twenty years. In an attempt to combat the radical image the Greens had placed on the party, conservative Lord Hillary was elected Leader of the Opposition in the 29th Parliament. She was attacked as having no policies, and simply trying to imitate the popular Lord Arlonway. The accusation stuck, the Social Democrats had their worst result in years.
The party experienced a rennaisance under Lady Graham, who laid out the first platform relevant to the problems of the 21st century, destroying the wishy-washy image of the party, and she went on to defeat Lord Arlonway to win the 31st general election. The Social Democrats currently, as a result of the 32nd general election, the Social Democrats have a minority government, the first in North Ahjeezistan, with 107 seats in the 218 member Parliament. The Opposition Liberal Democrats hold 100, and the minority Conservatives hold eleven. They currently trail the Liberal Democrats in polling, though there are likely to be at least two days until the next general election.
List of Leaders
It has three official songs, The Freedom Song, and American civil rights song, Bread and Roses, about a trade union strike in Lowell, Massachusetts, and, as of the 31st general election, Beethoven's Ode to Joy.
