Commercial and public service

The plan requires that school, health care, care and other services function everywhere and that welfare exists throughout the country, with shops and services also in smaller towns. An equal, coordinated and long-term state presence with ongoing monitoring is the tool that meets that commitment. The plan also describes how industrial towns and the countryside are left behind when services are withdrawn, which is precisely the counter-proposal's problem picture.

The election manifesto states that the state shall be present throughout the country, and the programme requires good access to society's services regardless of where one lives and greater state responsibility for equal conditions. The counter-proposal's requirement for an equivalent, coordinated and long-term state service presence with ongoing monitoring is precisely this commitment implemented in practice.

The plan establishes that all parts of the country shall thrive and that society shall ensure that public services exist in all areas, and that society's institutions shall be present everywhere. It also requires equivalent welfare and services regardless of where one lives. An equivalent, coordinated and long-term state presence with continuous monitoring is exactly that commitment put into action.

• public services in all areasdecisive»Vi vill att alla delar av landet ska leva, och att samhället ska säkerställa att samhällsservice ska finnas i alla områden.« (party programme ↗)“We want all parts of the country to thrive, and that society shall ensure that public services shall exist in all areas.”

The plan states that public service shall be close and reliable throughout the country and that all residents shall have equivalent service regardless of where they live. It also points out that municipalities' reduced presence leads to lower trust, which is the counter-proposal's own motivation. The requirement for equivalent, coordinated and long-term state presence with ongoing monitoring thus follows directly from the plan.

• service throughout the countrydecisive»Offentlig service ska vara nära och pålitlig i hela landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Public service shall be close and reliable throughout the country.”
• equivalent service regardless of where you live»Alla invånare ska ha tillgång till en likvärdig och pålitlig välfärd oavsett var de bor, och den offentliga servicen ska finnas där när man behöver den.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“All residents shall have access to equivalent and reliable welfare regardless of where they live, and public service shall be there when needed.”
• state presence and trust»På många håll har myndigheters närvaro och förståelse för människors livssituation minskat, vilket leder till lägre tillit.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“In many places, the presence and understanding of people's life situations by authorities have decreased, which leads to lower trust.”

The plan establishes that access to state services shall be secured throughout the country and that state authorities shall be present in all parts of Sweden. It also requires that individuals regardless of place of residence receive equivalent quality in welfare services and that a functioning public service is crucial for the entire country's development. The counter-proposal's demand for equivalent, coordinated and long-term state presence therefore follows directly from the plan.

• state services in the entire countrydecisive»Tillgången till statlig service ska säkras i hela landet.« (party programme ↗)“Access to state services shall be secured throughout the country.”
• authorities in the entire country»Vägnätet ska fungera och statliga myndigheter ska finnas närvarande i alla delar av Sverige.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The road network shall function and state authorities shall be present in all parts of Sweden.”

The election manifesto explicitly undertakes to establish more state service offices so that people can feel secure throughout the country, and the party programme places on the state the responsibility to ensure that state service is accessible throughout Sweden. The goal is that all Sweden shall live and that every municipality shall be a functioning society. The counter-proposal's demand for an equivalent and long-term state presence with monitoring is thereby the plan's own line.

• more state service officesdecisive»Fler poliser med lokal närvaro, utbyggd primärvård, enklare starta lokal läkarmottagning och inrätta fler statliga servicekontor. Du ska känna dig trygg i hela landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“More police with local presence, expanded primary care, easier to start a local medical practice and establish more state service offices. You shall feel secure throughout the country.”

The counter-proposal wants to ensure equivalent and long-term government social service throughout the country with continuous monitoring. The plan makes exactly this a starting point: all of Sweden must function if people are to be able to live and work there, mobile coverage and the knowledge that police will come must apply regardless of where you live, and broadband shall be classified as national infrastructure. The counter-proposal's demand is therefore in line with the plan's rural commitments.

• government service regardless of residencedecisive»Mobiltäckning överallt ska vara en självklarhet, liksom vetskapen om att polisen kommer när du ringer oavsett var du bor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Mobile coverage everywhere shall be a matter of course, as well as the knowledge that police will come when you call regardless of where you live.”
• all the country shall function»Moderaterna vill ta vara på hela Sveriges möjligheter. Men ska det gå att bo och verka i hela Sverige måste också hela Sverige fungera.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Moderates want to take advantage of all of Sweden's possibilities. But if it is to be possible to live and work in all of Sweden then all of Sweden must also function.”
• broadband as national infrastructure»Klassa bredband som nationell infrastruktur och prioritera därefter« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Classify broadband as national infrastructure and prioritize accordingly”
• infrastructure in the whole country»Laga Sveriges vägar så att du kan komma fram säkert och i tid« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Fix Sweden's roads so you can get there safely and on time”

The plan wants to invest in a strong welfare and public services throughout the country and explicitly regrets that public services have been dismantled in the countryside. The requirement for equitable, coordinated and long-term state presence with continuous follow-up is the same commitment in practice. The plan also sees potential in relocating more government jobs to smaller towns.

• restore services in the countryside»Skolresultaten har sjunkit, köerna till sjukvården har vuxit, polisen kommer allt mer sällan till den som utsatts för vardagsbrott och offentlig service har monterats ned på landsbygd och i stora delar av landet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“School results have fallen, queues for healthcare have grown, police come increasingly rarely to those subjected to everyday crime and public services have been dismantled in the countryside and in large parts of the country.”
• policy for the whole country»Bedriva en politik för hela Sverige« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Conduct a policy for all of Sweden”
• state presence in smaller towns»Sverigedemokraterna ser potential för att utlokalisera fler myndighetsjobb till mindre orter men det främsta verktyget för tillväxt och jobb på landsbygd är enklare regler och möjligheter för landsbygden att växa.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden Democrats see potential in relocating more government jobs to smaller towns but the main tool for growth and jobs in the countryside is simpler rules and opportunities for the countryside to grow.”
