The '''Social Democratic and Co-operative Party''' ({{wp|Anglish|Swathish}}: ''Felloƿ Democratick and Sameƿork Mootband'', {{wp|Jèrriais|Flurian}}: ''Parti socialiste-démocratique et co-opéthâtique'') is a {{wp|centre-left}} {{wp|political party}} in [[Estmere]] which 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.

The SDCP joined a {{wp|national coalition}} for the duration of the war, and after the eventual defeat of [[Gaullican Empire|Gaullica]] was an influential voice in the [[Transitional Authority]].
history


In the aftermath of the Great War, the SDCP overtook the liberals to become the second largest party, leading a number of governments in this time. The party was overtaken by the resurgent Reform Party in the 1980s, and supported a Reform-led government in the 2000s. Recently, the SDCP has again overtaken Reform as the second largest party.
