Democratic Socialist Party (Japan)

The Democratic- Socialist Party (Japanese民主 社会 党, Minshu Shakaitō, from 1969 :民 社 党, Minshatō DSP) was created in 1960 splitting the right wing ( uha ) of the Socialist Party of Japan ( SPJ ). She pursued more moderate positions than the SPJ, her founding program was borrowed from the Godesberg Programme of the German Social Democrats in parts. Like her mother, the party was also not free of course disputes and battling on.

Despite, or because of their moderate positions, the DSP was never as successful as the SPJ; usually they remained even after the vote share of the Communists. After the government of Morihiro Hosokawa, where the DSP was involved, had failed, the party went on in 1994 in the newly created Shinshinto.
