The Social Democrats (Danish: Socialdemokratiet [soˈɕɛˀlte̝moˌkʰʁɑˀtɪət], lit. 'The Social Democracy', S) is a social democratic political party in Denmark. A member of the Party of European Socialists, the Social Democrats have 38 out of 179 members of the Danish parliament (following the latest Danish general election held in 2026), the Folketing, and three out of fourteen MEPs elected from Denmark.
Founded by Louis Pio in 1871, the party first entered the Folketing in the 1884 Danish Folketing election. By the early 20th century, it had become the party with the largest representation in the Folketing, a distinction it would hold for 77 years. It first formed a government after the 1924 Danish Folketing election under Thorvald Stauning, the longest-serving Danish Prime Minister of the 20th century. During Stauning's government which lasted until the 1926 Danish Folketing election, the Social Democrats exerted a profound influence on Danish society, laying the foundation of the Danish welfare state. From 2002 to 2016, the party used the name Socialdemokraterne in some contexts. The party was a member of the Labour and Socialist International from 1923 to 1940. A member of the Socialist International until 2017, the party withdrew to join the Progressive Alliance, founded in 2013.
