PDS (Partei des Demokratischen Sozialismus Party of the Democratic Socialism) is one of the major parties in Germany.

The PDS is the Descendent of the SED (Sozialistische Einheitspartei Deutschlands;they invented the Stasi!), the major party in the former DDR. Still today, nearly all the votes for the PDS come from East Germany.

The political goals of the party are not clearly visible (Except the strict peace-policy). It is something about Socialism in a democratic way(Whatever this means...).
