Extended data:

The political party system in GDR can be simply summarized as: the multi-party political participation system under the leadership of the German Unified Socialist Party. The political party alliance not only participates in the parliamentary and government work of all political parties, but also participates in the socialist people's movement in a non-state form. Its organizational performance is that it has formed two non-state people's United front organizations, the Democratic League and the National Front.

In these two organizations, all political parties and organizations enjoy equal rights. Their common purpose is to unite all political parties, mass organizations and personages without party affiliation in the whole country and in various regions, especially in residential areas, to act together to build a developed socialism and make contributions to improving the working and living conditions of residents, beautifying towns and enriching spiritual and cultural life.
