The '''Social Democratic and Co-operative Party''' ({{wp|Anglish|Swathish}}: ''Felloƿ Democratick and Evenƿork Fold'', {{wp|Jèrriais|Flurian}}: ''Parti social-démocratique et co-opéthâtique''), also known by the abbreviation '''SDCP''', is a {{wp|centre-left}} {{wp|political party}} in [[Estmere]], which currently comprises the {{wp|Official Opposition}}.
The '''Progressive Social Democrats''' ({{wp|Anglish|Swathish}}: ''Prȯgresiv Sȯcydėmscrats'', {{wp|Jèrriais|Flurian}}: ''Social-démocrates progressifs''), also known by the abbreviation '''PSD''', are a {{wp|centre-left}} [[List of political parties in Estmere|political party]] in [[Estmere]], which currently leads a {{wp|minority government}}, the [[Halivar ministry]], with support from the [[Greens (Estmere)|Greens]] and [[Left Party (Estmere)|Left Party]].
 
Founded in 1901 as the '''Estmerish Section of the Workers' International''', the party organised alongside the Estmerish {{wp|trade union movement}}, sharing close links with the [[Congress of Estmerish Trade Unions]]. With [[Sidney Bell]] as leader, the party grew to be a political voice of much of the {{wp|working class}}. The party eventually however fell to severe infighting, chiefly over Estmere's participation in colonial wars, and over the party's response to the [[Great Collapse]]. A split materialised in 1914, when [[Ed Barton|"Red" Ed Barton]] and the {{wp|council communism|council socialist}} wing of the party walked out of the annual congress, organising their own in opposition. The remainder of the party under [[Joseph Halstadder]] then organised a merger with the {{wp|municipal socialism|municipal socialist}} [[Independent Labour Committee]] and the {{wp|co-operative movement|co-operative}} [[Co-operative Representation Party]], rebranding under the current name. The left-splitters under Barton kept the name [[Estmerish Section of the Workers' International|ESWI]] but were organisationally distinct.
 
The party supported the war effort during the [[Great War (Kylaris)|Great War]], and under [[John Henderson]] briefly became the leading party in the war-time {{wp|national government}} from 1930 to 1932. The party initially struggled to assert itself during the peace negotiations, but after [[Vincent Holmes]] took over leadership of the party he quickly positioned it as one of the more stable parties on the political scene. Holmes led the party to victory in [[1941 Estmerish general election|1941]], organising the reconstruction effort, nationalising a number of industries and establishing the {{wp|welfare state}}, while maintaining Estmere's position as a {{wp|world power}}. After a brief {{wp|lame duck}} administration under [[Richard Moore]], the party returned to opposition until [[Fabian Young]]'s close victory in [[1953 Estmerish general election|1953]]. The party was again returned to opposition after the [[1955 Estmerish general election|1955 election]], and failed to return to government under [[Harold Anderson]] and [[John Archer]].
 
The party returned to power under [[Kenneth Lawson]] in [[1967 Estmerish general election|1967]], with the party dominating government under him, [[William Prentice]] and [[David Armstrong]] until 1976.
 
The party was overtaken by the newly-formed [[Reform Party]] in 1981.

Alongside the [[Sotirian Democratic Union]] and the Reform Party, the SDCP is considered one of Estmere's three major parties. It has provided 6 of the 26 post-war [[Prime Minister of Estmere|Prime Ministers]]. The party espouses {{wp|social democracy}} and {{wp|Cooperative|co-operatism}}, and is generally agreed to have a {{wp|progressivism|progressive}} and {{wp|social liberalism|socially liberal}} outlook. [[Zoe Halivar]], considered to be on the {{wp|soft left}} of the party, has led the party since 2016, and also serves as {{wp|Leader of the Opposition}}. The SDCP is a founding member of [[Socialist Alternative for Euclea]] and the [[International Socialist Forum]], and in 2019 had a membership of 489,000.
