The New Colorado Social Democratic Party (NC SDP, colloquially the New Colorado Social Democrats or New Colo Soc Dems) is the branch of the Social Democratic Party of Enderron operating in New Colorado Prefecture. The party is the one of the two major political parties in New Colorado politics, the other being the New Colorado Liberal Party. The current party leader is Natalie Takayama, since 2011.
The New Colorado Social Democrats are one of the most dominant Social Democratic prefectural branches in the country, having held a majority in the New Colorado Prefectural Assembly for all but four years since 1988, the governor's office since 1996 (and all but one term since 1968) and a majority of New Colorado's federal electorates since 1958. The party currently holds 18 of the Prefectural Assembly's 35 seats.
