Welfare Party
It was previously called the Welfare Party (), which was founded by Žuravļovs in 1999 and won 3,04% of the vote and two seats in the Riga City Council during the 1999 Latvian municipal elections. It was renamed to SDLP just before the 2002 Latvian parliamentary election, in which the party won 1.4% of the popular vote but no seats. In the run up to the 2004 European Parliament election the party was renamed as the United Social Democratic Welfare Party (, ASDLP) and received 2,23% of the vote, well below the 5% margin.
