The Social Democratic Party of Floria is a centre-left social-democratic political party in Floria and was the ruling party in the country from 1707 until 1719. It is one of the two major parties of modern-day Floria replacing its troubled predecessor the Labour Party.
The SPD was established in 1706 and holds Pro-Apollonian stances and is an advocate of greater cooperation with Floria's neighbouring nations and healthier relations with the XC. The party holds some similarities with the Social Democratic and Liberal Alliance of Nouvelle Alexandrie however does not recognise the ideals of Aldricism.
Since the election of Michael Hutchinson, the party’s popularity gradually declined and in 1733, it lost its major status effectively making Floria a De facto one-party state. However, in 1734 the party saw a comeback with a mission to "restore Florian democracy", it achieved its objective and gained enough traction to activate a snap Presidential election in 1739. Adams ran for election and almost won the Presidency and if successful would have become the first female SDP candidate to serve as President.
After the election, momentum grew in the party and is now more popular than the UPR in some states in Floria such as Kingsland and San Alexandria. Politicians such as Imogen Walsh and Lauren Mills have pushed popularity for the party to new heights using social media and adopting ideologies which promote fairer rights to women and the LGBT+ community.
the party is strongest among urban voters, Minorites, union workers, college graduates, women, LGBT+ people, and the unmarried. On social issues, it advocates for federal abortion rights, voting rights, LGBT rights, action on climate change, and the continued legalisation of marijuana. On economic issues, the party favours healthcare reform, universal child care, paid sick leave and supporting unions. In foreign policy, the party supports internationalism as well as positive stances towards Shireroth and the XC.
