The League of Social Democrats (Chinese:社會民主連線) is a radical pro-democratic political organization in Hong Kong. Its declared purpose is to "take a clear-cut stand to defend the interests of the grassroots". It is seen as a social democratic party, and its founding members include 'Long Hair' Leung Kwok-hung and former members of Young Turks faction of the Democratic Party, such as Andrew To and lawmaker Albert Chan. Some media have referred to the League as the "Rising Sun of Young Turks".

Relations with Pro-democratic Parties

Since the participation in the Chief Executive Election of Alan Leong, the League of Social Democrats refused to cooperate with the Democratic Party and the Civic Party. In the Election Committee election, the League of Social Democrats refused to name a candidate as a protest to "small-circle election".

During the March 18 Protest against small-circle election in 2007, while Civic Party vice-chairperson Fernando Cheung was speaking, the Social Democrats shouted and disrupted his talk. Later in a regular pro-democracy lawmakers' meeting in April 2007, Social Democrat Albert Chan left the meeting citing he couldn't stand "irresponsible criticisms" against him.

In late December 2007, the Vice-chairman of the party, Dr Lo Win-lok, resigned [ [http://www.rthk.org.hk/rthk/news/englishnews/20071229/news_20071229_56_457304.htm RTHK Online News ] ] after a controversy over the lack of documentation on the lease of the party headquarters.
