The '''Social Democratic Union (SDU)''' ([[Volkian language|Volkian]]: Социал-Демократический Союз (СДС)) is one of the major [[Political parties in Volkia|political parties in the Volkian Federative Republic]]. As of 2020, it is the current ruling party of the [[Volkia|Volkian Federative Republic]]. The SDU is the largest political party in Volkia; as of July 2020 it holds 243 (or 51.4%) of the 472 seats in the [[Chamber of Deputies (Volkia)|Chamber of Deputies]] and 42 (or 53.8%) of the 78 seats in the [[Federal Council]]. [[Yuliya Surkova]] is the first woman and youngest politician in Volkian history to hold the office of the [[President of Volkia|presidency]].
The SDU was formed on June 4, 1970 as a response to growing corruption and political instability that was occurring in Volkia during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The SDU framed themselves as the party that could fix the perceived problems in Volkian society. Then-President [[Matvei Lukyanov]] attacked the new party in July 1970 and said they were "searching for blue roses" by promising sweeping social reforms. The SDU embraced the image of the blue rose and would go on to be known as the "'''Blue Rose Party'''" in Volkian politics. In the 1972 elections, the SDU swept the elections and established super-majorities in both the Federal Council and the Chamber of Deputies, and won the presidency. The SDU has since remained in power and is responsible for many fundamental policies of Volkian society.
