Socialist Party

English

Most frequently, a calque of foreign party names, particularly French Parti socialiste.

Any of various national political parties chiefly identified by their support for some form of socialism, particularly the French Socialist Party.
- 1941, George Orwell, The Lion and the Unicorn, Pt. III:
  A Socialist Party which genuinely wished to achieve anything would have started by facing several facts which to this day are considered unmentionable in left-wing circles. It would have recognized that England is more united than most countries, that the British workers have a great deal to lose besides their chains, and that the differences in outlook and habits between class and class are rapidly diminishing.
