Our terrible logo
The Social Democratic Party, or Social Democrats, was founded with the purpose of proving that /pol/ isn't an asylum for the politically insane and some reasonable discussion can actually take place outside of people wanting the 17-20th century to come back.
We're a party of the 21st century. We wouldn't look out of place in politics and normal people wouldn't make jokes about how we're crazy. We're centre-left and realise that politics isn't about dealing with absolutes and "my way or the highway" but about making compromises that benefit society as a whole.
I named myself after the Simpsons character because if we were a real party we would probably meet at coffee shops whilst all you edgelords can meet at places like castles and military bunkers.

Party Platform[]
- Social welfare for everyone in the country, make sure they have a safety net to fall back on.
- Health care is free and nationalised.
- Free education for all. Education shouldn't be limited to only people who can afford it.
- Central bank is nationalised, other banks can be privately owned but the Central Bank has monetary authority.
- Proportional tax system though not in a way that'll heavily discourage people from moving up and earning higher salaries.
- Economy is capitalist though backed up by social welfare - give everyone a good starting point for moving up in life.
- Pro-liberty and equal rights i.e. gay marriage, freedom of expression, freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of press.
- Pro-immigration.
- Much less spending on things like the military and nuclear weapons.
- Pro-multiculturalism! It's the 21st century and the internet allows us to connect with tons of different people, make use of it!
