Our vision

About us

We are the only party leading the way for actual change in Sweden. We are working toward a society where the feeling of community is strong and where people can feel at home in their own country.

We are men and women, young and old, people from cities and rural areas. We are workers, entrepreneurs, retirees, professionals and students. What unites us is the belief that Sweden can become safer, freer and more united than it is today.

Since the 2022 election we have been the driving force behind the paradigm shift that has begun in Swedish politics. We have delivered historically low levels of asylum-related immigration, a tough-on-crime approach and stronger economic conditions for Swedish households, but the work is far from finished.

Much has been accomplished during this term, but meaningful change takes time and major challenges remain. Sweden must continue the course that the Sweden Democrats have helped stake out. It is a course toward greater security, freedom and long-term stability. We do not want to see a return to the policies that contributed to the serious societal problems that we are now working alongside the government to address.

The country stands at a critical crossroads. Many of the reforms implemented during this term risk being reversed by a united left-wing opposition that puts ideology before pragmatism, making everyday life both more difficult and more expensive for ordinary people. It is time to leave symbolic politics behind. Tougher criminal sentences, a more restrictive migration policy, lower taxes on work and reduced fuel prices could quickly be lost if the Social Democrats, the Left Party, the Green Party, and the Centre Party gain power.

Sweden Democrats have been proven right on issue after issue and, today, we see party after party adopting the very same policies and arguments that we have championed for decades, yet only the Sweden Democrats have consistently stood firm on these issues, even in the face of strong opposition. That is why the Sweden Democrats bear a particular responsibility to win the election and ensure that Sweden continues to move in the right direction. People in Sweden should once again be able to feel safe, free and a sense of belonging in their own country.

During this term the Sweden Democrats have had real influence on Swedish politics and our policies are clearly making an impact. Through the Tidö Agreement, we have helped deliver a major shift in Swedish policy with more restrictive immigration rules, tougher criminal sentences and stronger measures against gang violence and organized crime.

We have also worked to lower living costs for Swedish households through reduced fuel prices, a halved VAT rate on food and a dental care reform aimed at improving affordability and access for older people.

For the first time in party history, we now have more than 36,000 members, a new membership record that reflects growing confidence in our party across the country. Today, the Sweden Democrats are stronger and more prepared than ever to enter a Swedish government for the first time.

Sweden should be safe, free and Swedish. Through the Tidö cooperation, we have achieved the lowest asylum-related immigration in 40 years, tougher criminal policy and among the lowest fuel prices in Europe, but we are not satisfied.

People in Sweden have a right to feel at home and live ordinary lives without serious crime or political overreach. We want a responsible fiscal policy, lower energy and fuel taxes, and continued pressure on living costs.

We believe in a society where your efforts at work are rewarded, families feel secure and welfare prioritizes Swedish citizens and those who have contributed to the country. We want to restore respect for law and order, strengthen national cohesion and uphold Swedish values and traditions.

In Sweden, people should be able to feel safe. Safe in their own homes, on streets and public squares, in schools, at work, in healthcare and in elderly care. However, over a long period of time, safety has been eroded through misguided political priorities. Gang crime, sexual offences, everyday insecurity and shortcomings in the welfare system have been allowed to grow while Sweden’s defence and preparedness have not been given sufficient priority. A strong society is required, one that can both meet external threats and combat internal crime that threatens people’s freedom and security. 

We want to build a safer Sweden through more police officers, harsher sentences, a stronger justice system and a continued effort against criminal gangs. At the same time, total defence must be rebuilt with a strong military defence and improved preparedness throughout the country. Social security must also be strengthened through a well-functioning welfare system, with shorter healthcare waiting times, secure elderly care, more affordable dental care, better protection in case of illness and unemployment, and a school system built on discipline and learning. Sweden should be a country where law-abiding people can live freely and safely. 

In Sweden, people should be free to shape their own lives. The freedom to make personal choices, move freely across the country, own your home, keep more of what you earn, and speak your mind without fear of threats or consequences. Today, freedom is increasingly limited by high taxes, complex rules, slow permit processes and an expanding bureaucracy. Housing shortages, rising living costs, expensive fuel, and the over-implementation of EU rules are all examples of how political decisions often make everyday life harder instead of easier. 

We want to build a freer Sweden by cutting unnecessary red tape, lowering taxes, strengthening property rights and improving conditions for families, businesses, and rural communities. It should be easier to build homes, start and run companies, and live and work anywhere in the country. Energy, fuel and food costs should come down, physical cash should be preserved alongside digital payments, the euro should be rejected and state overreach pushed back. Families should decide for themselves how parental leave is used and Sweden should pursue an independent policy focused on Swedish interests. A free society is one where people are trusted with responsibility and given the real opportunity to build their own future. 

Swedes have the right to feel at home in their own country, to live ordinary Swedish lives and to see their culture, language, and traditions respected. Swedish identity is open to anyone who wants to be part of it, but it’s built on loyalty, responsibility, and adapting to Swedish society. A society that lacks clear expectations and where newcomers are not integrated becomes divided and segregated. Therefore, immigration policy must be strict, integration policy must be requirement-based and citizenship must be clearly elevated in status. 

We want to build a Sweden where Swedish culture, the Swedish language and Swedish social cohesion are at the center. Anti-Swedish sentiment should never be excused or minimized. Racism, degrading crimes and hatred directed at Swedes must be taken just as seriously as other forms of hostility and should be treated as hate crimes when the motive is anti-Swedish. 

We want to tighten requirements for citizenship, limit benefits for those who do not contribute, strengthen the position of the Swedish language, counter Islamism and promote domestic production and self-sufficiency. Sweden must remain Swedish, a country where Swedish cultural heritage is conserved, defended and passed on to future generations.
