The Social Democratic Party (SDP) is a political party in the United Kingdom,established in 1990. The current party traces its origin to the Social Democratic Party,which was formed in 1981 by a group of dissident Labour Party Members of Parliament (MPs) and former Cabinet members Roy Jenkins,David Owen,Bill Rodgers and Shirley Williams,who became known as the Gang of Four. The original SDP merged with the Liberal Party in 1988 to form the Liberal Democrats,but Owen,two other MPs and a minority of party activists formed a breakaway group also called the Social Democratic Party immediately afterwards. That continuing party dissolved itself in the aftermath of a by-election in Bootle,in which the party's candidate received fewer votes than Screaming Lord Sutch's Official Monster Raving Loony Party. However,some SDP activists met and voted to continue the party in defiance of its National Executive,leading to the creation in 1990 of the current Social Democratic Party under the leadership of the candidate who lost that by-election. The party has been led since 2018 by William Clouston.
