The Sotirian Democrats, also called Sotirian Democracy, are a Sotirian democratic political party in Azmara. The party is a member of the Euclean Democrat Union network in the Euclean Community, and has 28 members of the Alþing, with twelve in the upper house and sixteen in the lower house.
The party was founded in 1945 as a moderate party of the right supporting further Euclean integration and would gain its first representation in the election later that year. Forming an alliance with Gold Flame and the Farmers' Party, the party would enter government in 1954 with leader Helmut Freidrikssun becoming Thingspeaker, ending the 21-year rule of the Workers' Party. The party would form multiple centre-right coalitions with Gold Flame over the next three decades, yet after 15-year gap from power would return in 2005 under centrist coalitions with The Radicals and later the Workers' Party.
The party most recently served in government between 2014 and 2017 in coalition with Gold Flame and The Radicals, where current leader Aansgaar Jonsun served as Foreign Minister and Deputy Thingspeaker, yet the government was defeated in 2017 and the party suffered further losses in the 2020 election.
