Gibraltar Social Democrats
- Gibraltar Social Democrats
The Gibraltar Social Democrats (abbreviated GSD) are a political party in Gibraltar.
Their current leader is Peter Caruana, the Chief Minister of Gibraltar. The GSD has been the governing party in Gibraltar since 1996.
The party supports the current constitutional status of Gibraltar as an autonomous British Overseas Territory and is opposed to any proposal of joint British–Spanish sovereignty, although it has traditionally been less hostile in its attitude to Spain than the Gibraltar Socialist Labour Party, the principal opposition.
The party merged with the Gibraltar Labour Party in 2005, retaining the GSD name. The merger was unpopular with many members of both parties, causing some high profile members to resign their membership, including deputy leader Keith Azopardi and executive member Nick Cruz, who went on to form the Progressive Democratic Party.
At the 2007 election to the Gibraltar Parliament, the GSD polled 49.33% of the vote and were returned 10 (out of 17) members, the standard number required to run the legislature under the current constitution.
