	Socialist Unity Party of Germany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Socialist Unity Party of Germany (German: Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands, or SED) was the governing party of East Germany from its formation in 1949 until the elections of 1990.
		After 1990, the party reformed itself as the Party of Democratic Socialism (later in 2005, the Left Party.PDS), and continues to be a notable force in German government on the state and local levels in former East German territory.
		Before the elections in 1990, the old Social Democratic Party was re-established as a separate party while the rump of the SED that remained after a massive plunge in membership was renamed to Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS).

	Socialist Party (France) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1899 there was a realignment of French socialism, with the formation of the Socialist Party of France (Parti Socialiste de France) on the left and the French Socialist Party (Parti Socialiste Français) on the right, led by Alexandre Millerand.
		Because of this, the Socialist party is often criticised by groups further to the left such as the Workers' Struggle (Lutte Ouvrière) and the Revolutionary Communist League as being no longer a truly socialist party.
		At the 1995 presidential election, Mitterrand retired, and the Socialist candidate, Lionel Jospin, was defeated by Jacques Chirac.

	Party of Democratic Socialism in Germany
		The communist party that ran East Germany was the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands--SED).
		The party's strongholds are Saxony, Berlin, and Brandenburg.
		However, the party won parliamentary representation, thanks to a peculariarity of the German electoral law: the fact that the PDS won four districts outright (all in eastern Berlin) entitled it to thirty seats in the Bundestag.

	World Socialist Party - History
		It is a sad proof of the socialist contention that the Russian revolution put the clock back as far as the growth of the socialist movement is concerned that the Association ceased in 1922, and that it was not for another eight years that socialists in New Zealand organised themselves again.
		As part of a world socialist movement, the new party was able to use journals and pamphlets from Britain and Canada to spread socialist understanding.
		On the political field, the Party exposed the claims of Labour to be able to govern in the workers' interests, and of the Communist Party that socialism was being built in Russia, both of which were popular views at that time, but are now discredited.

	Bibliography on Party Politics in East Germany, 1950-1962
		Both the quality and quantity of literature on political parties in the German Democratic Republic, commonly known as East Germany, can be explained largely by one factor--the preoccupation of writers with the question of the government's legitimacy.
		Discussions of the five parties become discussions of their activities as legitimizing agents, for it is apparent that the four minor parties were created to enlist non-Communist support for a fully Communist system.
		In this light, the party purges which were mentioned earlier may be viewed as an outgrowth of the leaders' reaction to the failure of the parties to gain mass support or membership.
