The party in Lithuanian language has the same name as the prewar socialdemocrats, therefore an attempt to create two different names: Lithuanian Social-Democratic Party and Social Democratic Party of Lithuania is rather artificial and confusing. Dirgela 11:46, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

But what about the party in the 1990s? I see that there is a redirect from the Lithuanian Social-Democratic Party to the Social Democratic Party of Lithuania. Does this mean the the latter should be seen as a direct continuation of the former? In that case it would be wrong to say that the party was founded in 2001. If it is correct to consider the latter as a new party, as it was formed by two former parties, then one should have two articles and not just a redirect. --Oddeivind (talk) 10:48, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I propose to change the title of the article from "Social Democratic Party of Lithuania" to "Lithuanian Social Democratic Party", because the latter is much more often used than the former. For example, the Electoral Commission uses "Lithuanian Social Democratic Party" as the English translation of the party name.

This party does not represent social democracy. It is absolutely different from socialists in Scandinavia. This party is liberal with some sort of soviet nomenklatura protection. Please update ideology. This party is centre or centre-right.
