Alternative Solution

The plan wants sports and culture organizations to be anchored in associational democracy and stand strong against market interests, and pushes for conditions that secure their independence. The counter-proposal's demand that resources go to the organizations instead of to individual short-term benefits follows from this. The election manifesto furthermore wants to give children and young people municipally supported leisure activities, that is, support to the activity rather than to individual purchases.

• associational democratic sportsdecisive»demokrati och stå starka mot marknadsintressen.« (party programme ↗)“democracy and stand strong against market interests.”
• publicly supported leisure for youth»Ge barn och ungdomar möjligheter till kommunalt stödda fritidsaktiviteter« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give children and youth opportunities for municipally supported leisure activities”
• secured conditions for associational life»Vi driver på för villkor som säkrar en stark« (party programme ↗)“We push for conditions that secure a strong”
• meaningful leisure for all children»för att alla barn ska ha en meningsfull fritid.« (party programme ↗)“so that all children have a meaningful leisure time.”

The plan's consistent line is collective solutions through a vibrant associational life and a sports movement that builds bridges, rather than individual benefit constructions. The election manifesto wants access to leisure activities at reasonable costs to increase and establishes that parents' wallets shall not decide, which the counter-proposal wants to achieve by lowering thresholds at the organizations. This speaks for organizational support rather than a targeted short-term benefit.

• strong associational life for young peopledecisive»Livskraftigt föreningsliv som särskilt stöttar barn och unga.« (party programme ↗)“Vibrant associational life that particularly supports children and young people.”
• leisure activities for all children»Tillgången till fritidsaktiviteter till rimliga kostnader, både vad gäller idrott och kultur, behöver öka. Föräldrarnas plånbok ska inte avgöra.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Access to leisure activities at reasonable costs, both for sport and culture, needs to increase. Parents' wallets shall not decide.”
• vibrant popular movements»Livskraftiga folkrörelser för att hålla ihop samhället.« (party programme ↗)“Vibrant popular movements to hold society together.”
• sports movement's role»Idrottsrörelse som främjar integration, bygger broar mellan människor och bidrar till bättre folkhälsa och psykiskt välmående.« (party programme ↗)“Sports movement that promotes integration, builds bridges between people and contributes to better public health and mental well-being.”

The plan points out that children in economically vulnerable families have poorer access to leisure activities and requires increased resources directed to the most disadvantaged families. This speaks in favour of support that reaches these children directly rather than general organisation grants, thus against the counter-proposal's redistribution. The plan's support for mass sports and youth sports pulls the other way, so the conclusion is uncertain.

• unequal access to leisuredecisive»Barn i familjer i ekonomisk utsatthet har också sämre tillgång till fritidsaktiviteter.« (party programme ↗)“Children in families in economic vulnerability also have poorer access to leisure activities.”
• directed resources to the most disadvantaged»Det behövs en politik som ger ökade resurser till de sämst ställda familjerna för att ge alla barn trygghet och minska klyftorna i Sverige.« (party programme ↗)“There is a need for a policy that provides increased resources to the most disadvantaged families to give all children security and reduce inequalities in Sweden.”
• participation regardless of family economy»Alla barn ska ha möjlighet att utöva kultur inom någon form av kulturskola oavsett familjens ekonomiska förutsättningar.« (party programme ↗)“All children shall have the opportunity to engage in culture in some form of cultural school regardless of the family's economic circumstances.”
• support for mass sports»Genom resurser till ungdoms- och breddidrotten, inklusive idrott för människor med funktionsnedsättning, korpidrott och motionsidrott, investerar vi i såväl livskvalitet som folkhälsa.« (party programme ↗)“Through resources to youth and mass sports, including sport for people with disability, corporate sports and recreational sports, we invest in both quality of life and public health.”

The party programme makes voucher systems and individual choice the keys to reconciling justice with self-determination in publicly financed activities. The counter-proposal wants instead to shift resources from the individual to organizations, which goes against that principle. The plan values the sports movement's contributions, but the decisive line is that support should follow the individual's choice.

• voucher following the individualdecisive»Vårdpeng, skolpeng, omsorgspeng och jobbpeng är nycklar för att förena rättvisa med självbestämmande.« (party programme ↗)“Care vouchers, school vouchers, care vouchers and job vouchers are keys to reconciling justice with self-determination.”
• freedom of choice as principle»Valfriheten är en viktig princip och en nyckel för att förena frihet med rättvisa.« (party programme ↗)“Freedom of choice is an important principle and a key to reconciling freedom with justice.”
• individual influence»Alla ska ha inflytande över sina egna liv också när det gäller välfärdstjänster.« (party programme ↗)“Everyone should have influence over their own lives even when it comes to welfare services.”
• sport's social value»Idrottsrörelsen och Sveriges folkrörelser gör värdefulla insatser för att bygga tillit och gemenskap.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The sports movement and Sweden's popular movements make valuable contributions to building trust and community.”

The plan's bearing principle is that support shall strengthen the individual's power and freedom of choice, even when the measure is needs-tested, and that policy shall prioritise those who have least freedom. Support that goes directly to the child's own recreational activity responds to that principle better than a general organisational grant. The plan certainly protects civil society financing, but that is not enough to support the requirement to redirect resources to organisations.

• choice strengthens the individualdecisive»välfärdstjänsterna stärker individens makt och ska tillämpas på alla områden där så är möjligt« (party programme ↗)“welfare services strengthen the individual's power and shall be applied in all areas where possible”
• choice in needs-tested measures»Valfrihet ska garanteras även för behovsprövade insatser.« (party programme ↗)“Freedom of choice shall be guaranteed even for needs-tested measures.”
• evening out life chances»Det socialliberala uppdraget är att förbättra varje individs livschanser genom att utjämna de« (party programme ↗)“The social-liberal mission is to improve every individual's life chances by evening out the”
• protected civil society financing»Vi vill fortsätta förbättra civilsamhällets finansiering genom både bredare skatteavdrag för gåvor och långsiktiga statsbidrag.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to continue to improve civil society financing through both broader tax deductions for donations and long-term state grants.”

The subsidiarity principle means that the public shall support the natural communities instead of replacing them, and the plan wants the public support in the first place to be directed to children's and young people's activities in associational life. Directing resources to sports and cultural organizations follows from this, as does that voluntary activities shall be prioritized over commercial interests. At the same time the election manifesto prioritizes society's youngest, which can also speak for a targeted individual support, so the position is uncertain.

• support, not replace communitiesdecisive»ska det offentliga stödja de naturliga nätverken.« (party programme ↗)“shall the public support the natural networks.”
• support for children's and young people's activities»första hand inriktas mot barn- och ungdomsverksamhet.« (party programme ↗)“first place be directed to children's and young people's activities.”
• sport as a popular movement»idrotten som folkrörelse utgörs dock av många enskildas ideella insatser« (party programme ↗)“sport as a popular movement consists however of many individuals' voluntary efforts”
• strengthened civil society»STÄRKT CIVILSAMHÄLLE« (2022 manifesto ↗)“STRENGTHENED CIVIL SOCIETY”

The counter-proposal wants to direct resources to sports and cultural organisations instead of an individual short benefit. The plan's concrete commitment in the area is a particular sports initiative for vulnerable areas and initiatives that prevent young people being drawn into crime, that is support that goes through the activities. The plan also emphasises choice for the individual, which pulls the other way and makes the assessment uncertain.

• sports initiative in vulnerable areasdecisive»Genomföra ett särskilt idrottslyft för utsatta områden« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Carry out a particular sports initiative for vulnerable areas”
• preventive initiatives»Samtidigt behövs satsningar på socialtjänsten och skolan för att på sikt förhindra att fler dras in i kriminalitet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“At the same time resources are needed for social services and schools to ultimately prevent more being drawn into crime.”
• responsibility for the vulnerable»en offentlig välfärd som skyddar dem som är utsatta« (party programme ↗)“a public welfare that protects those who are vulnerable”
• choice for the individual»För Moderaterna är valfrihet en central del av den svenska« (party programme ↗)“For the Moderates choice is a central part of the Swedish”

The plan wants to promote community life and give sports movements the conditions for continued viability, and the party programme states that the public's task is to highlight and support the voluntary sector. Directing resources to organizations instead of individual subsidies aligns with this. The goal that more children should participate in sports is shared, but the way to get there according to the plan is through voluntary associations.

• promote community lifedecisive»Samhället bör i större utsträckning tillgodose behovet av idrottsanläggningar, främja föreningslivet och underlätta elitklubbar att bedriva verksamhet på en nivå som mäter sig i internationell konkurrens.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Society should to a greater extent meet the need for sports facilities, promote community life, and facilitate elite clubs to conduct activities at a level that competes internationally.”
• support for voluntary sector»Precis som i fallet med familjerna består statens och kommunernas primära uppgift i att lyfta fram och stödja den ideella sektorn utan att i alltför hög grad begränsa dess handlingsfrihet.« (party programme ↗)“Just as in the case of families, the state's and municipalities' primary task is to highlight and support the voluntary sector without to too great an extent limiting its freedom of action.”
• viable sports movement»Ge idrottsrörelserna förutsättningar till fortsatt livskraft« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Give sports movements the conditions for continued viability”
• increased sports participation»Öka idrottandet i hela befolkningen« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Increase sports participation across the population”
