The '''Social Democratic Union (SDU)''' ([[Volkian language|Volkian]]: Социал-Демократический Союз (СДС)) is one of the major [[List of political parties in Volkia|political parties in the Volkian Federative Republic]]. As of
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 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.
