Is social democracy prominent in your country?

[Fostoria]

Social Democracy isn't prominent in Fostoria. The ruling party with around 80%+ national support is staunchly against a welfare state, and the main opposition party with limited support is even more "socialist" than "democratic socialist".

[Zhouran]

No, social-democracy is no prominent in Zhouran. The political-moderates are in solidarity with foreign SocDem groups but political-hardliners see SocDem as limp-wristed and spineless against internationalist big-corporates.

[Lacona]

Lacona is a social democracy and has been since independence.

[Picentia]

Socialdemocracy is fascism, and our country is anti-fascist.

[The Srovsk State]

Yes, Social democracy is in fact our number one national ideology

[Imperial Majapahit]

Social democracy as a practical political ideology have been on the rise to prominence since the 1990s. A faction within the All-Majapahit Union Party (or the Union Party for short) supports social democratic policies and have been garnering support from the populace, the party managing to win 20,5% of the total votes in the most recent parliamentary elections.

[Oryok]

"Social Democracy is nothing but lukewarm free-market corporate capitalism pretending to care about the common people. It is nothing but a sham that must be brutally abolished along with the cancer of neoliberal capitalism.

The workers must rise up against their corporate masters. Abolish the chains of oppression, destroy the yoke of tyranny!"

- Generalissimo Tomarius Roffenheimer, Oryok's Supreme Overseer

[Ziyu]

Yes. In contemporary Ziyuan politics, since the 1982 political realignment, international commentators have stated that social democracy has been one of the two prominent political camps, along with conservatism. Domestically however, the two main political ideologies are the liberal social democrats of the Progressive Party, and the free market conservatives of the Ziyu National Party. These two parties have averaged around 70% of the vote in the last four elections.
In Ziyu, 39% of people identify as center-left, compared to 46% identifying as center-right. Center-left in Ziyu is synonymous with the liberal social democratic camp. Social democratic policies dominated Ziyu from the 1980s to the late 1990s, and even after 16 years of conservatism, the welfare and civil reforms made by late 20th century social democrats remained in place, despite being scaled back.

[Azlaake]

Yep, we are a pretty Democratic Socialist country!!

[The Huterric Union]

Social Democracy is part of our way of life. We still adopt free-market capitalism, but we run on a social market economy and things such as healthcare and education are all state funded in their entirety (but only for citizens. Those on visas must pay)

[Czechoslovakia and Zakarpattia]

For those unaware, social democracy is described, as according to the Wikipedia definition: "a political, social and economic ideology that supports economic and social interventions to promote social justice within the framework of a liberal democratic polity and a capitalist economy." It was originally founded as a movement to act as democratic and peaceful stepping stone from capitalism to socialism.

Essentially, social democracy aims to take capitalism and heavily reform it to act in the benefit of the nation as a whole instead of for corporate entities.

Is this system prominent in your nation's political system? Are there social democratic parties in your government, and if so do they hold significant power? Is it on the rise in your nation, or does it appear to be losing strength to other political movements?

In Stroulia, social democracy forms the backbone of the country's politics and economics. The head party in charge of the government, the Liberty and Democracy Party, is predominantly social democratic in nature. Most people put their faith in this system and it has served them well over many decades.

Social democrats are not only present within our politics, but they actively form the basis of our current government, currently ruled by the leftist big tent "Popular Front for Czechoslovakia and Zakarpattia" (Which has consistently maintained over 70-82% of the votes in national elections in the last few decades, effectively making Czechoslovakia a de-facto dominant-party state), composed anywhere from Orthodox Marxists to Democratic Socialists to Liberation Theologians and even social democrats opposed to neoliberalism. The "Third Way" moderates form a part of our opposition composed of the ČSSD (Czechoslovak Social Democratic Party), the ODS (Civic Democratic Party, liberal conservatives), STAN (Mayors and Independents, basically localist centrists), and the KDU-ČSL (Christian Democrats, the last remnants of the unapologetic conservative opposition to socialism and they are also proponents of traditional cultural values, restriction on immigration, repealing of same sex marriage, restoring free market capitalism, and are also ordoliberal).

So yeah, it's fair to say we DO have socdems within our country, some of them within our government itself.

[Silver Commonwealth]

''No. It is mostly found in the Party's liberal wing opposition, which is a mix of various social liberals, social democrats, and even disillusioned conservatives, which think, that SC's totalitarianism ''has no future''. Still, even then, it is not a very popular idea in SC's policies, and one of the few things, on which both Party's left wing, reformist wing, and old guard can agree on, is that social democrats are ''spineless'', and ''unable to counter problems decisively''.''

[Borgevia]

Yes. It was the Social Democrats & Socialists who helped force Borgovia to reform into a Parliamentary Republic from a Corporate Republic (Kleptocracy) where the 'Corpus' elect the President, and the Corpus are elected by the wealthy & Middle Class of their regions.

Today, our top three parties are the following:
Liberal Party (Neoliberal), Labour Party (Left-leaning Social Democrats to outright Socialists), and Progressive Party (Moderate Social Democrats).

The Labour Party does have a few right-wing nationalists voting for them since they're the only party to be against Globalism, Free Trade, and whatnot despite the Labour being the most left-wing. In the 2040s, their platform is still the same except they took on a more internationalist stance as opposed to a nationalist one. The Progressive Party continues to be the main Social Democratic Party with the Liberal Party being seen as the "Rich" party.

No right-wing parties have ever held more than 20 parliamentary seats since the 1950s, given Borgovia's history of being ruthless Capitalists who'll sell out Catholicism for profits. So the dynamic in Borgovia is quite different than other American countries.

[Brystolville]

Yes. Social democracy is a very prominent ideology in Brystolville. The Manifesto of the Labour Party, the leading and most important political party in the country, counts "Social democracy and the lessons of the European and Canadian social democratic movements" as one of the Party's "sources of truth", alongside democratic socialism, Marxism, Eurocommunism, the labour movement and trade unionism, feminist thought, and critical theory. Since the 1990s, Party literature and speeches at Party conferences have highly praised the Nordic and Dutch social democratic models, and Labour has sought to learn from social democratic parties in many countries.

Social democracy is the main ideology of two other parties represented in Parliament: the National Revolutionary Party and the Social & Liberal Democrats, both of which are members of the People's Parliamentary Majority coalition led by Labour.

[Breheim]

Yes, although it depends on your definition of social-democracy.

The currently most popular party in Breheim is the Republican Party, a centrist party whose left-wing identify with social-democratic politics and overall advocate third-way economics. The third-largest party is the Socialist Worker's Party, a democratic socialist party who officially also adhere to social-democratic politics, although of a more hard left stance.

The Socialist Worker's Party ruled Breheim from 1922 to 2013, although for most of this period would not be considered social-democratic in the modern sense. Internationally, Breheim aligned with socialist states, including totalitarian ones, and with a far more radical economic and social program, albeit not being truly revolutionary, retaining political institutions and a mixed-market economy. So historically, hard-left social-democracy marked most of Breheim's 20th century and earliest 21st century history. The SWP has since fallen to the status of third-party, but in Breheim's system of tetracameral legislature is a minority partner with the Republican Party in the People's Assembly, and the majority partner with the Alliance of Radical Socialists and Farmers in the State Assembly, granting them significant influence even into the present day.

[East Gondwana]

Yes, it is very popular. One of the major parties has traditionally been a social democratic party for most of its history. Democratic and libertarian socialism have recently become popular too, however liberalism is still very popular too, and the centre right major party still has strong support (and is, you know, still a major party), with conservatism also being notable political force (though it is less prevalent than in your average liberal democracy).

Overall social democracy is probably the most popular ideology in the country, though it is a plurality, with others (both and left and right) still holding significant sway over the nation.

Valkïism is a nationalist form of social-democracy that's neo-imperialist and monarchist. Since it's the ruling party and the one who founded the country, then yes.

[-The Islamic Queendom-]

It is not particularly prominent, although one of the three parties in our Parliament are the social democratic Liberal Party, they have never been a part of government and therefore the amount of their social democratic reforms that they have been able to enact has been limited by what the Royal Islam Party and the Islamist Party support as well.

[The Kitsune-ko Federation]

We are very much a "Social Democracy", as one would put it.

[Luziyca]

While our current governing party, the Liberals, are social democratic, it isn't as prominent as elsewhere because since 1863, the Liberals have only formed government for 27 years of its 156 year history. It has not helped that many Luziycans see social democracy as being "too close" to Liberationism, syndicalism, and other leftist ideologies.

[Arandias]

In a sense, yes. while my country has never called itself Socially Democratic nearly all of the concepts such as strong regulation, universal healthcare, and a strong social safety net have been implemented by the monarchy, of all thing, making Arandias basically a Social Monarchy

[Tornado Queendom]

Not really, because of its SJW connotations.

[New Freedomstan]

Modern "social-democracy", or to call it by its proper name, rightist deviationist capitalist roadism or social fascism, is an abhorred ideology among all true Nefreedians. No true Nefreedian adheres to treasonism, and those who do get an all-expenses paid trip to informative seminars in the countryside.

[Ariwana]

Social democracy implemented by the government here

[Ferlik]

Absolutely not!
