The Democratic Socialists (Canrillaise: Socialistes Démocratiques, SD) were a centre-left political party in the Republic of Rildanor. Founded in 3687, the first chairman of the SD was Vincent Achille. The party's precursor, the Meroixian Socialist Party, was originally only active in the island Canton of Meroix, and never participated in national elections; this changed, however, when the local party merged into a national electoral federation that would later become the Democratic Socialists. Until 3695 the party was known as the Socialist Left.
