The New Democratic Party (NDP) is a social democratic party in Australia. The party was founded in 2000 by former Labor MP Warren Snowdon, as well as many members of the Australian Democrats & the Left Faction of the Labor Party. On the political spectrum, the party sits to the left of the Labor Party on Economics, but Right on Social Issues. Unlike other parties, the NDP runs very decentralised, with state branches exerting more power than other state parties.
