The Democratic Party of British Gibraltar (DPBG) was a right-wing[1] political party founded in 1978[2] in Gibraltar. It grew out of the now defunct Integration with Britain Party (IWBP) and was led first by Maurice Xiberras, formerly of the IWBP, and subsequently by Peter Isola.
It obtained seven seats in the first elections it contested (1980 elections) failing to replace Sir Joshua Hassan's AACR.[3] In the next elections (1984 elections), it was replaced by the Gibraltar Socialist Labour Party as main opposition party failing to secure any seat.[4] It dissolved some time later.
