History
The party was founded in 1956 in Majunga district as the Social Democratic Party of Madagascar and the Comoros. It was led by Philibert Tsiranana, a member of the French National Assembly. Tsiranana had joined the French Section of the Workers' International (SFIO) group, and the French SFIO government aided the construction of the PSD. The party campaigned for continued links with France in the 1958 referendum. PSD allied itself with the Socialist Democratic Union of Madagascar, forming the Republican Cartel.[1]

gollark: (I do not know enough population genetics to say and I'd be handwavily guessing half the parameters anyway)
gollark: But a reasonable argument against that argument is that we have different goals to evolution, our environment is different, and possibly it wouldn't be a big enough fitness advantage for stuff to actually happen.
gollark: I think a reasonable argument against is that if it was beneficial for the brain to have a slightly higher "learning rate" often it would just evolve to do that anyway.
