Offices of the Social Democratic Party

[Vazdul (Formerly Chairman of the Communist Party of Ontario)]

SDP is a good, generic name that gets the point across. While it may not be as interesting as some other potential names, I think it's important that the main center-left party has a straight-to-the point name that doesn't have the potential to alienate its base. We wouldn't want to be called a "Front," for instance.

Well, if you'd like to be known as Social Democrats, but not as the SDP, we could go for something like USD (Union of Social Democrats) or SDA (Social Democratic Alliance).

Or how about DSP (Democratic Socialist Party)?

Personally I prefer to be a party, rather than a union or a block or something.

The problem there is that there is a difference between Social Democracy and Democratic Socialism. The SDP is meant to be a big-tent center-left party that still generally favors a capitalist system. As such, the term "Democratic Socialism" may not sit well with the more capitalist members of the party (such as Overgaard).
