The Social Democratic Party of New Surrey (commonly known as the New Surrey SDP or NS Social Democrats) is the branch of the Social Democratic Party of Enderron operating in New Surrey Prefecture. The party is the one of the two major political parties in New Surrey politics, the other being the New Surrey Liberal Party. The current party leader is Premier Harry Dunphy, since 2021. The party has been the governing party of New Surrey since 2014.
New Surrey politics historically tilted against the Social Democrats, with the party only forming government at two prefectural elections between 1946 and 1994. In the same period, the Social Democrats only won a majority of federal seats in New Surrey at one election, the 1970 landslide. Since 1994, the Social Democrats have dominated New Surrey politics, having won all but two prefectural elections and winning a majority of the prefecture's seats at every federal election.
