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 1923 by Bupney Roytiàr. It advocated a middle-ground between Quenri Reptiàr's communist ideas and British Empire loyalists. Part of the 1943 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 11 November 1943. 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. Voters doubted the Social Democrats would ever have an idea again.
The party experienced a rennaisance under Lady Gilmore, who laid out the first real platform in a decade. She defeated both the radical and wishy-washy image of the party, and defeated Lord Arlonway to win the 31st general election. It gained the majority of provincial governors for the first time in fourteen years in this election, as well.
