Pledge 14 is genuinely a brilliant idea.

Cox out.
Candidates have to pay £10,000 to be in that booklet.

The original SDP was left wing. This is a newer party using the same name and they are very very right wing.

The original SDP dissolved in 1988.
This SDP was founded in 1990. They may claim to be the same party, but they aren't.
You're right that they promise some lefty sounding stuff. But so did the BNP. It's the classic Nazi tactic (I'm not accusing the SDP of being actual Nazis) of pretending to be for the working man, while planning to implement far right policies.
