{{Socialism}}
'''Socialist Party''' is the name of several different [[list of political parties|political parties]] around the world that are explicitly called ''Socialist''. All of these parties claim to uphold [[socialism]], though they might belong to different branches of the socialist movement and might therefore have different interpretations of what ''socialism'' means. Most of these parties advocate either [[social democracy]], [[democratic socialism]] or even [[Third Way (centrism)|Third Way]] as their ideological position. Many socialist parties have explicit connections to the [[Labour movement]] and [[Trade union|trade unions]]. See also [[Socialist International]], [[list of democratic socialist parties and organizations]] and [[list of social democratic parties]]. A number of affiliates of the [[Trotskyism|Trotskyist]] [[Committee for a Workers International]] also use the name ''Socialist Party''.
