Democratic Party – Demokraci.pl
The Democratic Party (Polish: Partia Demokratyczna – demokraci.pl), abbreviated to PD, is a centrist, liberal political party in Poland. It has no members of the Sejm, Senate, or European Parliament.
Its foundation was publicly announced on 28 February 2005 and formally established on 9 May 2005 as an 'enlargement' of the Christian democratic Freedom Union, which it legally succeeds. At the 2007 election to the Sejm, the party ran as part of the Left and Democrats (LiD) list, and won three of the alliance's 53 seats. These members left the party in 2009 to join the newly-revived Democratic Party.
The party is a member of the European Liberal Democrat and Reform Party.

Famous quotes containing the words democratic and/or party:
“We have been educated to such a fine—or dull—point that we are incapable of enjoying something new, something different, until we are first told what it’s all about. We don’t trust our five senses; we rely on our critics and educators, all of whom are failures in the realm of creation. In short, the blind lead the blind. It’s the democratic way.”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
“We are the party of all labor.
The whole earth shall be ours to share
And every race and craft our neighbor.
No idle class shall linger there
Like vultures on the wealth we render
From field and factory, mill and mine.
Tomorrow’s sun will rise in splendor
And light us till the end of time.”
—Eugène Pottier (1816–1887)
