It has been frequently repeated that these have been turbulent times. But for the social democrats, the last two decades have been particularly tormenting and toxic. Following their rise to power at the beginning of the new century, their political strength and hence hegemony began to fade away. Consequently, they started facing electoral defeats, of which gravity seemed to have been legitimising the predictions of further decline. And though the situation of the respective parties varied, there has been a sense that this once mighty movement was trying to perform a balancing act on a downward spiral. In the new reality of a fragmented political landscape and volatile voters, it would have to get accustomed to being simply one of many, and narrow it down to an aspiration to be central to any progressive coalition.
