![[PT flag]](../images/t/tl}psd.gif)
Certainly inspired by its portuguese homonym,
the flag of P.S.D. has an
orange background, with the logo centered thereon. This is a white triangle
pointing down with a bicolor drop shadow, light blue in the fly side and
green on the hoist side. Inscribed in the triangle a seal with two concentric
black circumferences. The inside disc is horizontaly divided in orange and
light blue, a crocodile head issuant from the hoist side charged with three
small arrows (yet another symbolic link with the portuguese P.S.D.): green,
white and light blue. The crocodile is a recorrent symbol in timorese
iconography, due to a geography inspired legend describing the appearence
of the island from the body of a huge crocodile. On the edge of the seal,
back sans capitals reading "Solidariedade Igualdade Liberdade" (solidarity,
equality, liberty).

P.S.D. got 29 726 votes in the 2001.08.30
elections (8,18%), recieving 6 of 88 seats in the parlament — even if
P.S.D. got only 14% of Fretilin’s result,
it got to be the third party in these elections, closely surrounded by
A.S.D.T. and P.D. These results however were considered disappointing, as
this party had the sympathy of historical leader Xanana Gusmão and 1998
Nobel Peace Prize winner Ramos Horta.
