Summary/Abstract: The article describes the ideological shifts in one of the most established Slovenian political parties in the period since the introduction of political pluralism in Slovenia. Given the social democratic political orientation that this party strongly identifed with at the beginning, this contribution is an attempt to outline the disappearance of the initial social democratic elements, which were no longer present after 2003: after this point, the party in question could be classifed as a representative of social conservatism.
