	Encyclopedia: Social democratic (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-08)
		Social democracy is a political ideology emerging in the late 19th and early 20th centuries from supporters of Marxism who believed that the transition to a socialist society could be achieved through democratic evolutionary rather than revolutionary means.
		As of 2004, social democrats generally do not see a conflict between a capitalist market economy and their definition of a socialist society, and support reforming capitalism in an attempt to make it more equitable through the creation and maintenance of a welfare state.
		Social democratic parties are among the largest parties in most countries in Europe, as well as in the majority of European-influenced parts of the world (with the notable exception of the United States).

	National Review: A small victory - Social Democratic Party wins Portuguese elections (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-08)
		Five major parties were vying for control of the government--the Socialists, the Democratic Center (a Catholic party of the Right), the Democratic Renewal Party of General Eanes, the Communists, and, last but not least, the Social Democratic Party, which alone had had the courage to form a government.
		The Social Democrats expected toleration from the moderate Left--represented by General Eanes-- and sufficient support from the Democratic Center Party to be able to rule.
		Many Democratic Centrists, realizing that their party would not score high, decided to give their votes to the Social Democrats, and many followers of the Renewal Party were fed up with their overambitious leader.

		All because foreign investors, linked strongly to Brazil’s ruling political class (the five percent who own ninety-five per cent of the country’s wealth and resources), have decided that Lula is bad news…for reasons which this group have invented for external use.
		In the words of Lula, in the last internal party congress, “We are going to avoid a situation whereby the foreign debt increases, destroying the confidence in the capacity of the government to honour its promises”.
		The foreign investors and Brazil’s economic powers, however, have other ideas, namely to perpetuate the spiral of incompetence and scandalous negligence in a climate of political inadequacy which is responsible for Brazil’s ills today.

		First and foremost, in the economic and trading sphere, Brazil’s main area of influence in a first phase is in the American continent and a constructive dialogue with the United States on economic and strategic issues is the top priority.
		Brazil wakes up from its eternal slumber in the tropical sun and begins to flex its muscles on the world stage as its people wake up from their hypnosis and begin to assume their rights on the political stage at home.

		Although it is the largest political party in Brazil, it is a major force in small and medium-sized municipalities, which have little impact nationally.
		Of the 27 parties that ran in the local elections, the majority are so-called ”midget parties” that doubled their votes in some cases and managed to capture several dozen mayoralties.
		The growth of the country's smaller parties and the staying power of traditionally strong parties in outlying areas, despite some losses, have helped to allay fears that polarisation between the PT and PSDB could turn Brazil into a two-party country.
