[[File:German party SPD.jpg|thumb|Logo of the SPD]]
The '''Social Democratic Party''' or '''SPD''' is a left-center party in Germany. From 2005 to 2009 it formed a "grand coalition government" (a coalition between the two largest parties) with the rival [[CDU]]. In the German elections in 2009, the SPD suffered a historical loss of 9,2 % of the vote, reaching only 23 % in total. This gave the CDU (which reached 33,8% combined with its sister-party CSU) the possibility to form a conservative coalition with the 'Liberal Democratic Party of Germany', the [[FDP]]. This was considered a 'dream marriage', as opposed to the 'shotgun marriage'-coalition with the SPD.
