Unified Social Democratic Party (Hobrazia)

The Unified Social Democratic Party (Hobrazian language: ერთიანი სოციალ-დემოკრატიული პარტია; tr. ertiani sotsial-demok’rat’iuli p’art’ia) formerly the National Democratic Party (Hobrazian: ეროვნულ-დემოკრატიული პარტია; tr. erovnul-demok’rat’iuli p’art’ia) is a major political party in Hobrazia. It is responsible for the February, 4677 foundation of the Hobrazian Democratic Federative Republic. The UDSP, despite its name, largely a communist/socialist political party.

Originally founded as the National Democratic Party, underneath the guise of a center-right, right-wing political party, the UDSP formed in January, 4678 roughly a year after the NDP's founding. The UDSP united the center-left, left and far-left in Hobrazia especially left-wing nationalist (which currently make up the leadership of the party). Alexei Zakariadze, the charismatic former labor organizer was elected as the General-Secretary of the party's central committee.

Organization and leadership
The Unified Social Democratic Party is organized similarly to many other communist and socialist political parties throughout the world. According to party operations, a Party Congress is held every seven years to elect its members. These members in turn elect the Central Committee, the Central Committee than elect the Political Bureau and the Secretariat. The General-Secretary is selected by the Central Committee, which is comprised of a variety of members. The Central Committee meets regularly, according to current party operations once a month while the Political Bureau meets daily. The Secretariat, in a Hobrazian anomaly, has a leadership post known as the "First Secretary" and is responsible for the administration of the party. The Political Bureau operates the party in the absence of the Central Committee, in essence being the day-to-day operators of the party.

In practice, the Political Bureau is comprised of high-ranking government officials and important members of the regime. The Central Committee is similarly organized but features less important or middle tier members of the regime. The Political Bureau and the Central Committee maintain the principle of "democratic centralism" in which, in theory, votes are held for everything. With this noted, there are two status' of membership: Full Members and Candidate Members. Full Members are permitted to vote while Candidate Members are not.
