Saydneyan Democratic Congress

The Saydneyan Democratic Congress, often called the SCD or simply The Democrats is a Saydneyan centre-left political party. With the United Party of Saydney it is one of the country's two major parties. The party is a broadly social democratic party, though on economic policy and some social issues it has a more conservative stance than other leftist parties. The SDC has been for years the most popular party among the non-English speaking Saydneyan communities, in particular the Spanish-speaking minority. The SDC currently governs Saydney in coalition with the Saydneyan Labour Party. Marc Emerson, the President of Saydney and the Vice President of Saydney, Heather Mitchell, both represent the SDC on the Saydneyan High Council.
