^ A: SP has been variously described as "old left", far-left, and left-conservative; the latter label is due its more right-wing stance on socio-cultural issues.[14] |
The Socialist Party (Dutch: Socialistische Partij [soːʃiaːˈlɪstisə pɑrˈtɛi], SP [ɛs peː]) is a democratic socialist and social democratic political party in the Netherlands.[15] Founded in 1971 as the Communist Party of the Netherlands/Marxist–Leninist (KPN/ML, Dutch: Communistische Partij van Nederland/Marxistisch–Leninistisch), the party has since moderated itself from Marxism–Leninism and Maoism towards democratic socialism[4] and social democracy.[16][17][18]
Positioned to the political left of the Labour Party, the party has been part of the parliamentary opposition since it was formed.[19][20][21] After the 2006 Dutch general election, the SP became one of the major parties of the Netherlands winning 25 out of 150 parliamentary seats, an increase of 16 seats. In the 2010 Dutch general election, the parliamentary presence of the socialists decreased to 15 seats. In the 2012 Dutch general election, the party maintained those 15 seats. Following the 2017 and 2021 general elections, the SP fell back to the nine seats it held before 2006. After the 2023 Dutch general election, the SP delegation shrank from nine seats to five.[22][15]
Several smaller leftwing parties were able to improve their electoral positions in the past decade. ... One such party is the Dutch Socialist Party ..., which has its origins in Marxism–Leninism and Maoisim, but which has moderated its ideology towards democratic socialism.
