The Parti de la Democratie Socialiste (PDS) (in english: Democratic Socialist Party) was founded in 1963 as the Quebec branch of the New Democratic Party of Canada. It was the successor to the Parti social-démocratique, the Quebec counterpart of the Cooperative Commonwealth Federation, which had been led for many years by Thérèse Casgrain.With the creation of the New Democratic Party of Canada the Quebec wing, in 1963, was refounded as the Nouveau Parti démocratique du Québec (NPD-Québec or NPDQ), and was expelled from the NDP in 1992 after it elected former FLQ terrorist Paul Rose as its leader and adopted a program calling for Quebec independence. It became the Parti de la démocratie socialiste in 1995. The party contested Quebec general elections in 1970, 1976 and from 1985 to 1998.
In 2002, it joined with the Rassemblement pour l'alternative progressiste (Union for a progressive alternative) and the Parti communiste du Québec (Communist Party of Quebec) to form the Union des forces progressistes (UFP).
A new branch of the New Democratic Party of Canada, also called Nouveau Parti démocratique du Québec, has been founded in the 1990s and serves primarily as the Quebec face of the New Democratic Party of Canada.
