[edit] SDP or SPD?

we have no SDP in Germany the correct name is SPD

That's wrong: the newly founded East German Socialdemocrats called themself the "SDP" until re-union and the merger between SDP and SPD. -- till we ☼☽ | Talk 11:45, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] How were members (s)elected pre 1990

The article doesnt explain itself very well. It mentions "the first free elections on 18 March 1990" but doesnt explain how members were (s)elected prior to that. Were there elections and if so how were they "unfree" ?

It also states that "all opposition parties were effectively controlled by the dominant SED" but doesnt explain how with just under a quarter of the seats the SED were in a position to dominate letalone "control" the other parties ?

Were there any independent/non-party members or attempts to start new (or breakaway) parties by people unhappy with the nine existing ones ? 80.229.222.48 (talk) 17:20, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
