Which European Social Democratic party is the most pathetic?

[politicus]

PSOE deserves at least some honorific mention.

Only if you eliminate the de facto no longer SD parties and even then they are better than PS and SPD.

I wouldn't say they are better than SPD or PS, looking at the pathetic spectacle PSOE leaders are performing as of late. On the other hand, I only said "honorific mention": PASOK deserves the award by far.

Pasok, Irish Labour and SLD are in the "de facto no longer SD" category.

I would consider the bolded ones SDs and the crossed out non-SDs, but there are a lot of Eastern European parties where I am in doubt (left populist, ex-communist, tools etc.) and a lot I do not know enough about, then there are the left nationalist. Not easy to draw the line.

The one whose death squads murdered Rosa Luxemburg.

Long time ago.

The consensual and correct answer is "the ones in my country."

No, far from it. There are a handful of obvious contenders with the choice made difficult by some doubt regarding whom to include under the SD label.

This.

Still factually wrong.
