Irish Democratic Party

The Irish Democratic Party (IDP) was a minor Irish political party formed in 2013, as a result of a split with Direct Democracy Ireland.

Another minor party of the same name but different ideology[clarification needed] and leadership had been established in 2010 but was later dissolved.

The party advocated the introduction of participatory democracy in the Republic of Ireland.

Smollen was an unsuccessful candidate at the 2020 general election in the Laois–Offaly constituency.

Since November 2020, the IDP is no longer a registered political party.
