		With the demise of the Whig party in the election of 1852 and the emergence of the sectional, antislavery Republican party in 1854 (succeeding the Free-Soil party), the Democrats remained the sole national party.
		At the Democratic Convention of 1860 the party split, Northern Democrats nominating Douglas, and the Southern Democrats choosing John C. Breckinridge, thus facilitating the victory of Abraham Lincoln.
		Although the Democrats retained their solid majorities in Congress (except for the Senate in 1980, 1982, and 1984), the victorious national coalition built by Nixon was sustained by Ronald Reagan in 1980 and 1984 and by George H. Bush in 1988.

		A key element of democratic socialism, as distinct from social democracy, is meaningful participation and control of daily life at work and in the community (workers' and community self-management), with managers (where needed) elected by and responsible to workers and community members.
		Social democratic parties have been distinguished from liberal capitalist parties primarily by their earlier identification with socialism, by the remaining symbols of this identification, by their current close association with the official unions, and by their willingness to tolerate left wings which are more explicitly socialist.
		The possible tactics of revolutionary democratic socialists with respect to the large social democratic parties have been just touched upon, with the implication that while participation in and critical support for such parties may be advisable in particular cases, the possibilities for reform of these parties are probably quite limited.

		It is ironic that a party with religious roots has started to champion Turkey's EU vocation, while the main opposition party, the secular People's Republican Party (PRP), a longtime supporter of EU membership, has become more doubtful about the reforms necessary to achieve it.
		The party's claims to have changed its spots have met with skepticism in certain segments of the Turkish intelligentsia as well as in the secular armed forces.

	Social Democratic Party of Slovakia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The Social Democratic Party of Slovakia (in Slovak: Sociálnodemokratická strana Slovenska; abbreviated SDSS) was a left wing political party in Slovakia.
		The Party arose after the Velvet Revolution, in January 1990, and declared that it will attempt to continue the work of the "Slovak Social Democratic Party of (the Kingdom of) Hungary" (1905-1918) and of other Social democratic parties forbidden in 1948 by the Communists.
		In 1992 the Party gained five seats (6,1% of the votes in Slovakia) in the "House of Nations" (Sn&283;movna národ&367;) of the federal parliament of Czechoslovakia, which however was only due to the fact that the Party chairman was briefly Alexander Dub&269;ek, the ex-Czechoslovak leader, in 1992.

		In Austria, France and Denmark, these parties are either coalition partners or have to be taken seriously as a significant political factor by democratic governments.

		The original reason for forming a Community, which began modestly as a six-member economic union — the European Coal and Steel Community — was to banish once and for all intra-European wars, and particularly to bind Germany into a new Europe in which she would no longer be tempted or able to wage aggressive war.

	STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES OF THE NATURAL LAW SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC PARTY (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		It is the conclusion of the Organizing Committee of the Natural Law Social Democratic Party, for reasons not fully set forth here, that none of the major existing third parties or third party movements offers an adequately grounded alternative to the present virtual monopoly of public policy discourse held by the two major parties.
		Social democracy is identified with the fractions of the European socialist movement which have been especially scrupulous with respect to the choice of the means by which the essential ideals of socialism are to be achieved.
		The Natural Law Social Democratic Party does not seek to duplicate the work already being done by social ethicists, theologians, members of church study groups, and other people of faith who are working patiently to use ancient wisdom and new spiritual insight to solve social problems.

		Their submission asserts that the rules for European Political Parties are discriminatory, that they are contrary to the European Convention on Human Rights, which guarantees “freedom of thought and conscience”, and that, amongst other breaches of Treaty on European Union, they represent an unauthorised transfer of power to the EU.
