The Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) was a liberal conservative political party from Gibraltar.
The party was the third political party and the only party to sit on the centre-right in Gibraltar. The PDP was the only party campaigning for "a Gibraltar freely associated to the United Kingdom" and envisaged "a journey through the recognition of our right to independence".[4] The party was also the only political party in Gibraltar that openly committed to implementing a means testing system in government housing.[5]
The PDP described itself as "the only real choice for an alternative, authentic, centrist government which has vision, is progressive and is in tune with the aspirations of Gibraltarians for stable and moderate liberal politics."[6]
