The Social Democratic Party, abbreviated SDP, is one of the three major contemporary political parties of Wizlandia, along with its main political rivals the Liberal Party and the National Party. It is currently in a coalition government with the Liberal Party.
The Social Democratic Party ideology is Social Democracy and Cultural Progressivism. On economic issues the Social Democratic Party favours a heavily regulated market economy with an expansive progressive tax system, and have supported policies such as raising income taxes, implementing corporate taxes, creating a minimum-wage, establishing small tariffs on foreign manufacturing, a green energy federal jobs program to combat climate change, increasing state-funded welfare, and expanding public healthcare benefits, with some also supporting moving from the Universal Catastrophic Coverage system to a free at the point of use Single-Payer system. On cultural issues, the Social Democratic Party leans towards cultural progressivism, favouring a rehabilitation-oriented crime policy, freedom of association, is supportive of gay marriage, and is against drug criminalisation, but also favours affirmative action and an active state social policy to achieve social justice. The majority of Social Democrats support nuclear disarmament and a multilateral approach to achieve foreign policy goals, and are in favour of continued membership in supranational organisations such as the World Assembly.
