Deutschlands) is the second largest political party in Germany. A centre-right
Christian party,
and from
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Democratic_Party_of_Germany>
Founded in 1875, the Social Democratic Party of Germany (Sozialdemokratische
Partei Deutschlands--SPD) is Germany's oldest political party and its largest in
terms of membership. After World War II, under the leadership of Kurt
Schumacher, the SPD reestablished itself as an ideological party, representing
