The election manifesto contains an explicit commitment to invest in safe outdoor environments where an important part is to light up unlit places throughout Sweden, with the reasoning that dark places create insecurity. The counter-proposal's demand to stop the dismantling of lighting poles and provide funds for the street lighting network aligns with this commitment. The plan also promises to repair Sweden's roads so you get through safely.

»Satsa på trygga utemiljöer, där en viktig del är att lysa upp obelysta platser runtom i Sverige« — lighting for safe outdoor environments“Invest in safe outdoor environments, where an important part is lighting up unlit places throughout Sweden”

The election manifesto explicitly promises to upgrade the railway that already exists instead of expensive prestige projects, so that trains run on time. The counter-proposal's demand for raised ambitions and increased funding to clear the maintenance backlog is precisely that commitment put into practice during the plan period. The plan at the same time requires that new promises fit within the surplus target, which applies to financing but not the level of ambition.

»I stället för dyra och olönsamma skrytbyggen som höghastighetståg kommer Moderaterna rusta upp den järnväg som redan finns, så att tågen kan gå i tid och du slipper stå och frysa på perrongen.« — upprusta befintlig järnväg“Instead of expensive and unprofitable prestige projects like high-speed trains, the Moderates will upgrade the railway that already exists, so that trains can run on time and you don't have to stand freezing on the platform.”

The election manifesto contains an explicit commitment to prohibit conversion therapy aimed at changing an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity. The counter-proposal's requirement for special legislation against conversion attempts is precisely this commitment. The plan moreover points out that LGBTQ people are doubly vulnerable in honour cultures, which reinforces the need for a clear prohibition.

»Förbjuda konverteringsterapi, som syftar till att ändra en individs sexuella läggning eller könsidentitet« — prohibition of conversion therapy“Prohibit conversion therapy, which aims to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity”

The plan explicitly states that weapons regulation shall not be implemented so that hunters, sport shooters or weapons collectors are negatively affected, and it wants to stop the hunting of hunters. A ban on a type of weapon used in hunting is precisely the kind of measure that affects law-abiding gun owners. Instead, the plan directs the tightening toward serious weapons crimes, which supports the counter-proposal's objection that the means do more good against illegal weapons.

»Det är viktigt att EU:s vapendirektiv inte genomförs i svensk lagstiftning så att du som är jägare, sportskytt eller vapensamlare drabbas negativt.« — hunters shall not be affected“It is important that the EU's weapons directive is not implemented in Swedish legislation so that you as a hunter, sport shooter or weapons collector are negatively affected.”

The plan explicitly points out the queues within child and adolescent psychiatry and cancer care as the two areas to receive targeted, performance-based resources. The counter-proposal's demands for shorter child and adolescent psychiatry queues and for more equal cancer care throughout the country are therefore exactly what the plan promises. The plan moreover wants to strengthen research on diseases affecting women, which supports the demand for focus on gynaecological cancer.

»Utöka kömiljarden genom att rikta särskilda prestationsbaserade resurser till köerna inom cancervården respektive barn- och ungdomspsykiatrin (BUP)« — targeted resources for cancer care and child and adolescent psychiatry“Expand the queue allocation by directing special performance-based resources to queues within cancer care respectively child and adolescent psychiatry (child and adolescent psychiatry)”

The plan explicitly requires personal attendance to confirm a coordination number and wants to stop fraud with temporary personal numbers as a first step in establishing who lives in Sweden. The counter-proposal's demand for verified identity in land registration matters, rather than merely a stated number, is exactly the tightening the plan seeks. The plan also links this to the fight against organized crime and criminal assets.

»Kräva personlig inställelse för att bekräfta samordningsnummer, annars ska det återkallas« — verified identity for coordination numbers“Require personal attendance to confirm a coordination number, otherwise it shall be revoked”

The plan states that the responsible physician contact shall form the hub of care and that medical continuity must be strengthened. The counter-proposal's demands that physician continuity be prioritized more highly and that targets actually be met is the same thing in substance. The plan also sees inadequate accessibility as Swedish healthcare's main problem, which reinforces the reasons for action.

»Se till att den patientansvariga läkarkontakten ska utgöra navet i äldres sjukvård« — fixed physician contact as hub“Ensure that the responsible physician contact shall form the hub in the care of the elderly”

Open the case →

The plan explicitly requires that the person who has immigrated should qualify for welfare benefits through own work, which is precisely what the counter-proposal wants to see in social insurance. The plan also states that total benefits must never become so high that work doesn't pay. The requirement for an investigation into security for those who can never work falls within the plan's principle that the state has a responsibility for those who cannot work for physical or psychological reasons.

»Införa kvalificering till välfärden för nyanlända genom eget arbete eller genom permanent och laglig bosättning i landet« — qualification for welfare“Introduce qualification for welfare for newly arrived through own work or through permanent and lawful settlement in the country”

Open the case →

The plan explicitly promises to invest in the Swedish power grid and shorten authorization processes for grid expansion, and to review the design of electricity price areas – exactly the demands the counter-proposal raises. According to the plan, expanded nuclear power is entirely central, which requires network capacity also for existing reactors. The plan's strong property rights protection moreover argues for a review of compensation for land encroachment.

»Investera i det svenska elnätet och korta tillståndsprocesserna för elnätsutbyggnad« — invest in the grid“Invest in the Swedish power grid and shorten authorization processes for grid expansion”

The plan explicitly pledges to streamline the police force's mission with a focus on detecting, investigating and clearing up crimes, and describes this as letting police be police and delegating tasks to other authorities. That is precisely what the counter-proposal demands when transport and custody removals are to be transferred to other principals. The plan's goal of more police in field operations presupposes the same streamlining.

»Renodla Polisens uppdrag med fokus på att upptäcka, utreda och klara upp brott« — streamlined police mission“Streamline the Police's mission with a focus on detecting, investigating and clearing up crimes”

The plan builds its work against men's violence against women precisely on risk assessments of violent men — contact bans and electronic monitoring shall be able to be decided immediately when a risk assessment shows need — and on specialized police units for sexual crimes and domestic violence so that more reported crimes lead to prosecution. To make permanent and develop the method for identifying high-risk men and following up police interventions therefore lies within the plan's commitments.

»Införa kontaktförbud och fotboja direkt för en man som utsätter en kvinna för våld, om en riskbedömning visar att det finns behov« — risk assessment of violent men“Introduce contact bans and electronic monitoring immediately for a man who subjects a woman to violence, if a risk assessment shows that there is a need”

The plan has its own section on increased economic equality and states that increased self-sufficiency gives increased empowerment, with concrete commitments to reduce involuntary part-time work, fewer split shifts and more flexible parental leave. It is precisely women's career opportunities and participation in the labour market that the counter-proposal wants to strengthen. The plan however does not share the premise that expanded welfare in itself is the answer.

»Ökad självförsörjning ger ökad egenmakt.« — self-sufficiency gives empowerment“Increased self-sufficiency gives increased empowerment.”

The election manifesto commits to putting in place national coordination over society's needs for the number of education places to improve skills supply, and establishes that vocational upper secondary education must have content that is relevant and sought after. The plan also explicitly wants clearer state direction in the school area. The counter-proposal's requirement for active monitoring of dimensioning and increased state direction of upper secondary programmes is therefore supported by the plan.

»Få på plats en nationell samordning över samhällets behov av antalet utbildningsplatser för att förbättra kompetensförsörjningen« — national coordination of education places“Put in place national coordination over society's needs for the number of education places to improve skills supply”

Open the case →

The election manifesto explicitly commits to shortening the authorities' processing times through a maximum time limit and to shortening and simplifying licensing processes for industries that are transitioning, as well as for power grid expansion and environmental permits in agriculture. The counter-proposal's demands for coordinated, transparent and time-efficient licensing processes with clear time frames and strengthened resources for environmental assessment align directly with this.

»Korta myndigheternas handläggningstider genom en bortre tidsgräns« — maximum time limit for processing“Shorten the authorities' processing times through a maximum time limit”

Open the case →

The election manifesto explicitly commits to strengthening defence intelligence capability and developing cyber defence, and states that defence must increasingly take into account the opportunities and risks that rapid technological development entails. An initiative to maintain and develop expertise in signals intelligence, including an inventory of responsibility and robustness, is a direct application of that commitment. The plan therefore supports the requirement.

»Stärka försvarsunderrättelseförmågan« — strengthened defence intelligence capability“Strengthen defence intelligence capability”

The election manifesto explicitly promises to reduce regulatory red tape and counteract over-implementation of EU decisions, with the main rule that EU directives are implemented at minimum level — exactly what the counter-proposal demands. The plan also sets a quantified target to remove one third of businesses' administrative costs and regulatory red tape. A more forceful and coherent simplification effort adapted to businesses' conditions follows directly from these commitments.

»Minska regelkrånglet och onödig byråkrati, bland annat genom att motverka överimplementering i Sverige av EU-beslut – som huvudregel ska EU-direktiv genomföras på miniminivå« — EU-direktiv på miniminivå“Reduce regulatory red tape and unnecessary bureaucracy, inter alia by counteracting over-implementation in Sweden of EU decisions - as a rule EU directives shall be implemented at minimum level”

The plan explicitly promises to abolish today's quantity discounts and to introduce strong sentence enhancements for repeat offenses — precisely the logic the counter-proposal wants to see when repeated minor thefts are assessed in context. The plan also particularly points out crime against trade and theft gangs as a problem the justice system must get tools against. The counter-proposal's demand thus lies within the plan's sentence enhancement line.

»Ta bort alla straffrabatter för den som fyllt 18 år och slopa dagens mängdrabatter« — abolished quantity discounts“Remove all sentence reductions for those who have reached 18 years and abolish today's quantity discounts”

The election manifesto explicitly promises that placed young people should be given better education, which is the core of the counter-proposal's requirement for education during and after detention. The plan also wants to establish a national no-entry program for young people at risk and a national exit program, that is precisely the kind of structured release that is sought. The counter-proposal's requirement thus lies within the plan's crime prevention reform package.

»Se till att placerade ungdomar ges bättre utbildning« — education for placed young people“Ensure that placed young people are given better education”

Open the case →

The election manifesto establishes that the sentences handed down often do not reflect the severity of the crimes and commits to toughening sentences for violent and sexual crimes and to removing sentence reductions. The party programme adds that sentences that do not correspond to the severity of the crime undermine confidence in the rule of law. A review of why the toughened law has not had an impact on courts' practice follows directly from these commitments.

»Skärpa straffen för vålds- och sexualbrott« — toughened sentences for sexual crimes“Toughen sentences for violent and sexual crimes”

Open the case →

The election manifesto explicitly promises national coordination over society's need for the number of education places to improve competence supply. That is precisely what the counter-proposal requires for nursing education. The plan complements this with requirements for equivalent care regardless of where in the country one lives and with national measures on healthcare resources.

»Få på plats en nationell samordning över samhällets behov av antalet utbildningsplatser för att förbättra kompetensförsörjningen« — national coordination of education places“Get in place a national coordination over society's need for the number of education places to improve competence supply”

Open the case →

The election manifesto explicitly commits to a special sports boost for disadvantaged areas as part of the largest crime prevention reform package in modern times, with the motivation that young people be reached before they fall into exclusion. The counter-proposal's demand for more efforts so that all children and young people get access to sport and organised civil society regardless of background and finances is in line with that. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»Genomföra ett särskilt idrottslyft för utsatta områden« — sports boost in disadvantaged areas“Implement a special sports boost for disadvantaged areas”

The election manifesto explicitly commits to putting in place national coordination over society's need for the number of education places to improve skills supply, and to strengthen health care workers so that more hands can shorten waiting times in health care. Driving forward work on a national plan for health care's skills supply is precisely this. The plan thus supports the counter-proposal's demand.

»Få på plats en nationell samordning över samhällets behov av antalet utbildningsplatser för att förbättra kompetensförsörjningen« — national skills supply“Put in place national coordination over society's need for the number of education places to improve skills supply”

The election manifesto explicitly commits to a national exit programme together with a national knowledge centre for crime prevention, and wishes to prohibit participation in organisations with violent activities and strengthen the Security Police against threats to liberal democracy. A national programme that facilitates exit from extremist environments aligns with these commitments. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»Inrätta ett nationellt kunskapscentrum för brottsprevention och ett nationellt avhopparprogram för gängkriminella« — nationellt avhopparprogram“Establish a national knowledge centre for crime prevention and a national exit programme for gang criminals”

Open the case →

The election manifesto explicitly commits to introducing a residence ban for those convicted of intimate partner violence, so that the perpetrator can be banned from residing in a certain residential area, as well as contact bans and electronic monitoring immediately after risk assessment and a new opportunity for long-term monitoring with electronic monitoring. The counter-proposal's requirement to investigate geographically limited bans in cases of particularly high threat lies directly in line with these commitments.

»Införa vistelseförbud för personer som dömts för våld i nära relation, så att den som utsatt sin tidigare partner för våld och övergrepp kan förbjudas att vara i ett visst bostadsområde även efter att ha släppts ur fängelset« — geographic residence ban“Introduce a residence ban for persons convicted of intimate partner violence, so that the person who has subjected their former partner to violence and abuse can be banned from being in a certain residential area even after being released from prison”

The election manifesto commits to establishing a benefit fraud unit at the Swedish Social Insurance Agency, to removing secrecy obstacles against the police and to taking control of population registration to stop benefit fraud and organized crime money. The counter-proposal's requirement for strengthened tools and direction of agencies against economic crime, including information exchange with police about people linked to organized crime, is precisely that line. The plan therefore supports the requirement.

»Inrätta en bidragsbrottsenhet på Försäkringskassan« — agency tools against benefit fraud“Establish a benefit fraud unit at the Swedish Social Insurance Agency”

The election manifesto explicitly commits to working for a resource distribution system for higher education where academic quality, throughput and labor market establishment are rewarded, and to achieving national coordination of education places for better competence supply. The counter-proposal's demand for a review of the resource allocation system with a focus on shortage occupations and maintained quality is precisely this. The plan therefore supports the demand in substance.

»Arbeta för ett resursfördelningssystem till högskolan så att akademisk kvalitet, genomströmning samt etablering på arbetsmarknaden premieras i högre utsträckning« — reformed resource allocation system“Work for a resource distribution system for higher education so that academic quality, throughput and labor market establishment are rewarded to a greater extent”

The election manifesto explicitly commits to abolishing the multiple-child supplement from the fourth child onwards, that is, to reduce precisely that supplement the counter-proposal wants to remove for the second child. The direction is the same: less general multiple-child supplement and stronger incentives to work, supported by the benefit cap. That the plan's scope applies to a different child number makes the position somewhat uncertain, but in substance the plan supports the requirement.

»Avskaffa flerbarnstillägget från och med barn fyra så att inte kvinnor i stora familjer fastnar i hemmet« — avskaffat flerbarnstillägg“Abolish the multiple-child supplement from the fourth child onwards so that women in large families do not get stuck at home”

The plan connects the new security situation to the requirement to reduce vulnerability and raise self-sufficiency, and promises better emergency stocks and long-term planning for civil defence. The counter-proposal's requirement for longer planning horizon and higher self-sufficiency of society-critical goods is the same thing in substance. The plan also wants to strengthen agriculture for increased domestic food production.

»Det nya säkerhetsläget i Europa gör att vi som land måste minska vår sårbarhet och öka vår självförsörjningsgrad.« — increased self-sufficiency“The new security situation in Europe means that as a country we must reduce our vulnerability and increase our self-sufficiency.”

The plan explicitly states that the goal is a war-deterring defense that deters an attacker, which is exactly the starting point the counter-proposal emphasizes. It also establishes that the military defense cannot fulfill its duties if the civil defense does not work and that the efforts should be in step. It is the same demand for balanced growth between military effectiveness and society's resilience.

»Målet är att det svenska försvaret ska vara krigsavhållande och avskräcka en eventuell motståndare från att angripa Sverige.« — war-deterring total defense“The goal is that Swedish defense shall be war-deterring and deter a potential opponent from attacking Sweden.”

Open the case →

The plan explicitly states that medical expertise and continuity must be strengthened within elderly care and that the responsible physician contact should form the hub in elderly care. That is precisely what the counter-proposal requires with enhanced access to doctors and nurses and implemented proposals on strengthened medical expertise. The plan also points out that the pandemic's shortcomings must lead to change.

»Den medicinska kompetensen och kontinuiteten måste stärkas inom äldreomsorgen.« — strengthened medical expertise“Medical expertise and continuity must be strengthened within elderly care.”

Open the case →

The plan explicitly commits to making it cheaper for private individuals to reduce their electricity consumption by strengthening and expanding the green tax deduction, which is precisely the steering towards energy efficiency the counter-proposal wants to investigate. A reduced property fee is also in line with the plan's promise to stop reintroduced property tax. The goal of freeing up electricity and keeping electricity prices down is shared by the plan.

»• Göra det billigare för privatpersoner att minska sin elkonsumtion genom att förstärka och utvidga det gröna skatteavdraget« — expanded green tax deduction“• Make it cheaper for private individuals to reduce their electricity consumption by strengthening and expanding the green tax deduction”

The plan commits to removing all secrecy barriers between social services and police and to halving benefit fraud, citing the billions that disappear each year into the pockets of cheaters and criminals. A comprehensive review of secrecy legislation to enable information sharing against welfare fraud is the same measure in broader form. The plan also expands the authorities' control capacity through a national census and a benefit fraud unit.

»• Undanröja alla sekretesshinder mellan socialtjänst och polis« — removed secrecy barriers“• Remove all secrecy barriers between social services and police”

The counter-proposal wants to permanently move the trawling boundary and pause large-scale fishing until stocks recover. The election manifesto explicitly promises to move the trawling boundary from four to twelve nautical miles to stem the decline of herring and sprat in the Baltic Sea, and establishes that the trend of declining stocks must be reversed. The party programme identifies overfishing as a serious threat to the marine environment.

»Stävja minskningen av sill-/strömmingsbestånden i Östersjön genom att flytta gränsen för trålfiske från fyra till tolv nautiska mil« — moved trawling boundary“Stem the decline of herring/sprat stocks in the Baltic Sea by moving the trawling boundary from four to twelve nautical miles”

The counter-proposal wants to develop customs cooperation with neighbouring countries and within the EU against export of stolen goods and against drug and arms smuggling. The plan explicitly promises to strengthen customs with more resources and powerful authority precisely to stop theft gangs and arms smugglers, and points out foreign theft gangs' export of goods as a main problem. Strengthened border control in EU cooperation also aligns with the plan's direction.

»Stärka tullen med mer resurser och kraftfulla befogenheter för att stoppa stöldligor och vapensmugglare« — stronger customs against theft gangs“Strengthen customs with more resources and powerful authority to stop theft gangs and arms smugglers”

The counter-proposal wants to build electrification on all competitive fossil-free power sources, speed up electricity grid expansion and make the energy policy target structure more precise and long-term. This is precisely the plan's line: the goal shall change from 100 per cent renewable to 100 per cent fossil-free and all fossil-free energy sources shall participate and contribute, with new nuclear power as a central part and investments in the electricity grid. The demand for cross-party preparation is a form without counterpart in the plan, but the substance is supported.

»Ändra det energipolitiska målet från 100 procent förnybart till 100 procent fossilfritt« — fossil-free goal instead of renewable“Change the energy policy goal from 100 per cent renewable to 100 per cent fossil-free”

The plan notes that housing shortage exists in 207 of 290 municipalities and explicitly commits to replacing advanced detailed plans with simpler building plans, abolishing coastal protection and reducing appeals. To prioritise simplifications within the Planning and Building Act based on already-appointed investigations is precisely that direction. The plan gives no support for the simplifications to occur at the expense of housing standards, which the counter-proposal does not require either.

»Ersätta avancerade detaljplaner med enklare byggplaner« — simpler planning rules“Replace advanced detailed plans with simpler building plans”

Open the case →

The election manifesto explicitly promises to build better emergency reserves and to develop a plan for how animal production and crop cultivation can be conducted at heightened alert. The reason given is precisely what the counter-proposal invokes: the new security situation requires reduced vulnerability and higher self-sufficiency. Accelerating the establishment of food emergency reserves, including input materials, is therefore in line with the plan.

»Bygga bättre beredskapslager« — better emergency reserves“Build better emergency reserves”

Open the case →

The election manifesto explicitly promises to abolish today's shoreline protection to enable increased building, which is precisely what the counter-proposal demands. The housing shortage in 207 of 290 municipalities is given as the reason, and the plan wants to consistently move decisions closer to citizens and give local influence over construction. Replacing the general shoreline protection with municipal designation of protected areas therefore aligns with the plan.

»Avskaffa dagens strandskydd för att möjliggöra ökat byggande« — abolished shoreline protection“Abolish today's shoreline protection to enable increased building”

Open the case →

The counter-proposal demands broader and more permanent reductions in employer contributions, including abolished fees when hiring the long-term unemployed. The election manifesto promises exactly this: the cost of hiring the long-term unemployed shall be significantly reduced and employment costs for newly arrived and long-term unemployed likewise, with a job premium as a complement. The requirement for financing within the surplus target qualifies the scope but does not change the direction.

»Kraftigt sänka kostnaden för att anställa långtidsarbetslösa« — lower employment costs“Significantly reduce the cost of hiring the long-term unemployed”

Open the case →

The plan explicitly states that mobile coverage everywhere shall be a matter of course and that broadband shall be classified as national infrastructure and prioritised accordingly, precisely so that business shall be facilitated across the whole of Sweden. The counter-proposal's demands for faster 5G expansion, better coverage and targeted support to agriculture and small rural businesses during the network transition directly address these commitments. The plan's starting point is that the whole of Sweden shall function.

»Mobiltäckning överallt ska vara en självklarhet, liksom vetskapen om att polisen kommer när du ringer oavsett var du bor.« — mobile coverage everywhere“Mobile coverage everywhere shall be a matter of course, as shall the knowledge that police will come when you call no matter where you live.”

The plan explicitly commits to reducing the number of regulations for agriculture and shortening processing times, and to countering overimplementation of EU decisions with minimum level as the general rule. The counter-proposal's demands for a review of the regulatory landscape and inspections at all levels and better conditions in the Common Agricultural Policy directly address these commitments. The plan's goal of strengthened profitability and increased domestic food production points in the same direction.

»Minska antalet regler för jordbruket och korta handläggningstider för miljötillstånd« — fewer regulations for agriculture“Reduce the number of regulations for agriculture and shorten processing times for environmental permits”

Open the case →

The plan explicitly commits to developing a national strategy against suicide with particular focus on children and young people, and to strengthening child and adolescent psychiatry and support lines. The counter-proposal's requirement for a multi-year, traceable action plan linked to the strategy's goals aligns with that commitment. That the plan does not mention specific target groups does not change that it wants to see a comprehensive, traceable suicide prevention effort.

»Ta fram en nationell strategi mot självmord, med särskilt fokus på barn och unga« — national strategy against suicide“Develop a national strategy against suicide, with particular focus on children and young people”

The plan explicitly promises to shorten and simplify permit processes for industries making transitions, to shorten processing times for environmental permits and to introduce an outer time limit for authority processing. Making modification permits the norm instead of a rarely granted suitability question is precisely such a simplification that speeds up investment. The plan also links faster permits to electricity grid expansion.

»Utöver det vill vi förkorta och förenkla tillståndsprocesser för industrier som satsar på omställning och få på plats en storskalig satsning på tekniker för att fånga in och lagra koldioxid.« — förenklade tillståndsprocesser“Beyond that we want to shorten and simplify permit processes for industries investing in transition and put in place a large-scale initiative for technologies to capture and store carbon dioxide.”

The plan establishes that family policy is not up-to-date in relation to how people today form families, and promises that all family law shall be gender-neutral. A bill that replaces a parent code that assumes parents are a woman and a man is precisely that modernization. The plan also wants to make altruistic surrogacy possible, which requires new regulation of parenthood.

»Se till att all familjelagstiftning är könsneutral« — gender-neutral family law“Ensure that all family law is gender-neutral”

Open the case →

The plan establishes that ownership is a condition for sustainable forestry and that formal protection of forests shall be achieved through voluntary action, that is, precisely the stable and long-term conditions for forest ownership that the counter-proposal demands. The plan also wants more forest to be managed, not less, while already protected forest is better maintained for biological diversity. That corresponds to a combination of active management and conservation.

»Stärka skogsägarnas äganderätt genom att formellt skydd av skog ska ske genom frivillighet« — voluntary formal protection“Strengthen forest owners' ownership rights through formal protection of forests being achieved through voluntary action”

The plan promises over 50 crime-prevention reforms that specifically strengthen social services, schools, and substance abuse care, and wants to remove all confidentiality barriers between social services and police and establish a national no entry programme for young people at risk. This is the same as the counter-proposal's requirement for early and coordinated efforts between schools, social services, and police. The plan also emphasizes that early intervention is crucial.

»Ta bort sekretesshindren mellan polis och socialtjänst samt inrätta ett nationellt no entry-program för unga i riskzonen i syfte att snabbt stoppa en påbörjad kriminell karriär« — no entry programme for young people“Remove confidentiality barriers between police and social services and establish a national no entry programme for young people at risk with the aim of quickly stop an incipient criminal career”

Open the case →

The plan explicitly commits to investigating lowered age of criminal responsibility and to establishing youth prisons. A lowering to 14 years for serious crimes is precisely such a lowering, and is in line with the plan's demand for early and clear consequences for young people who choose the criminal path. The plan also wants more young offenders to be detained for serious crimes.

»Utreda sänkt straffmyndighetsålder och inrätta ungdomsfängelser« — lowered age of criminal responsibility“Investigate lowered age of criminal responsibility and establish youth prisons”

The plan explicitly promises to develop cyber defence and to introduce an action plan with concrete measures against hybrid threats and cyber attacks. It also establishes that the military defence cannot solve its tasks if civil defence does not work, which is precisely the counter-proposal's point about functions vital to society. The demand for continued development of cyber policy is therefore in line with the plan.

»Utveckla cyberförsvaret« — strengthened cyber defence“Develop cyber defence”

The plan commits to removing one-third of companies' administrative costs and one-third of regulatory burden, simplifying the tax system and strengthening the conditions for investment. To immediately ensure that the new interest deduction rules do not impose a disproportionate documentation burden on small and medium-sized companies is precisely that commitment in practice. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's demand.

»Ta bort en tredjedel av företagens administrationskostnader och en tredjedel av regelkrånglet« — reduced administrative burden“Remove one-third of companies' administrative costs and one-third of regulatory burden”

The plan explicitly commits to working for deeper cooperation in northern Europe and for NATO membership together with Finland leading to deepened Nordic and Nordic-Baltic cooperation, and for Swedish defence industry to serve the whole alliance. Tighter Nordic defence industrial projects and a common Nordic position lie directly in line with this. The plan therefore gives support to the counter-proposal's demands.

»Verka för att Sveriges Natomedlemskap tillsammans med Finland leder till ett fördjupat samarbete inom Norden och mellan Norden och Baltikum« — deepened Nordic cooperation“Work for Sweden's NATO membership together with Finland to lead to deeper cooperation in the Nordic region and between the Nordic region and the Baltics”

The counter-proposal wants to amend the water directive so that water treatment facilities and other environmental protection facilities can always be expanded, with reasonable exceptions and national discretion. The plan explicitly commits to investing in water treatment research and expansion of advanced water treatment, which requires that the licensing rules do not block such investments. The plan also wants to prevent over-implementation of EU decisions and allow decisions to be made at the lowest possible level.

»Satsa på forskning om vattenrening samt utbyggnad av avancerad vattenrening« — expanded advanced water treatment“Invest in water treatment research and expansion of advanced water treatment”

The counter-proposal wants to strengthen higher education's labour market connection and regional cooperation. The plan explicitly commits to a resource distribution system where establishment on the labour market is rewarded and a national coordination of society's need for places of education to improve skills supply. The plan states that skills supply must improve and that education content shall be relevant and sought-after.

»Arbeta för ett resursfördelningssystem till högskolan så att akademisk kvalitet, genomströmning samt etablering på arbetsmarknaden premieras i högre utsträckning« — labour market establishment rewarded“Work for a resource distribution system for higher education so that academic quality, throughput and labour market establishment are rewarded to a greater degree”

The plan explicitly commits to strengthening the food strategy, strengthening agriculture to increase domestic production and reducing the number of rules and processing times for environmental permits. It also wants to produce a plan for how animal production and plant cultivation can be conducted at heightened readiness, which responds to the requirement for measurable targets for production capacity. The counter-proposal's demands for lower costs, less administration and more flexible water rules therefore align with the plan.

»Förstärka livsmedelsstrategin« — strengthened food strategy“Strengthen the food strategy”

The plan explicitly promises to strengthen teachers' and headmasters' authority to intervene in disruptive situations, which is exactly what the counter-proposal requires: clear legal authority for staff intervening against order disruptions. The plan also wants to write order and study peace into the School Act's opening section and make violence against school staff its own criminal offense. Order and study peace are emphasized as a prerequisite for learning.

»Stärka lärares och rektorers auktoritet att kunna ingripa i stökiga situationer« — strengthened authority to intervene“Strengthen teachers' and headmasters' authority to be able to intervene in disruptive situations”

The counter-proposal demands early detection of pupils who lack Swedish, intensive teaching and mandatory activities during school holidays. The plan contains precisely this: mandatory language monitoring at age three, mandatory language preschool for those with poor language development and a requirement for municipalities to offer school holiday activities that the pupil must attend. The plan states extensive efforts on the Swedish language from an early age as decisive for breaking segregation.

»Införa obligatorisk språkförskola för barn som visar en bristande språkutveckling« — obligatorisk språkförskola“Introduce mandatory language preschool for children who show poor language development”

The plan commits to reducing the number of rules for agriculture and shortening processing times for environmental permits, and to strengthening ownership and use rights for farmers. The counter-proposal's demand for more flexible rules for water extraction and habitat protection so that climate adaptation measures can actually be implemented is precisely such a softening. The plan moreover wants to reduce agriculture's environmental impact through technological development rather than through rigid rules.

»Minska antalet regler för jordbruket och korta handläggningstider för miljötillstånd« — fewer rules for agriculture“Reduce the number of rules for agriculture and shorten processing times for environmental permits”

The plan explicitly commits to moving the trawl limit from four to twelve nautical miles to fight the decline of herring and sprat stocks in the Baltic Sea. The counter-proposal's demand for rapid work with clear timelines for precisely such a shifted trawl limit is therefore the same thing as the plan's commitment. The plan furthermore wants to strengthen the joint Baltic Sea work, which responds to the need for negotiation with the EU and neighbouring countries.

»Stävja minskningen av sill-/strömmingsbestånden i Östersjön genom att flytta gränsen för trålfiske från fyra till tolv nautiska mil« — trawl limit to twelve nautical miles“Fight the decline of herring and sprat stocks in the Baltic Sea by moving the trawl limit from four to twelve nautical miles”

The plan states that academic freedom must be protected better and that research shall be free from political directives, and lists it as a separate commitment. The party programme demands strong and independent universities and sees academia as an important counterweight when the state moves in the wrong direction. The counter-proposal's demand to clearly protect research freedom nationally and internationally is therefore precisely what the plan says.

»Värna den fria forskningen från politiska pekpinnar« — free research“Protect free research from political directives”

The plan explicitly commits to investing in biofuel production and to building better emergency supplies, and motivates this with the fact that the new security situation requires reduced vulnerability and increased self-sufficiency. The counter-proposal's demand for investment support, emergency supplies and a strategic fuel reserve is thus precisely what the plan wants. That the state procures to keep prices down at the pump also aligns with the promise of lower fuel prices.

»Satsa på tillverkning av biodrivmedel« — domestic biofuel production“Invest in biofuel production”

The plan establishes that the fishing industry has been hard hit by declining stocks due to near-shore trawl fishing and that development must be halted, and wants to move the trawl limit from four to twelve nautical miles. It is precisely a protection of small-scale near-shore fishing. The plan also links food security to reduced vulnerability and increased self-sufficiency, which is in line with the counter-proposal's demand.

»Stävja minskningen av sill-/strömmingsbestånden i Östersjön genom att flytta gränsen för trålfiske från fyra till tolv nautiska mil« — protection of near-shore fishing“Halt the decline of herring/sprat stocks in the Baltic Sea by moving the trawl limit from four to twelve nautical miles”

The plan commits to introducing residence restrictions so that the person who has subjected their former partner to violence can be prohibited from residing in a certain residential area - that is, to limit the perpetrator's movements instead of the victim's. It also wants to introduce contact bans and electronic monitoring directly when risk is established, and a completely new possibility for long-term surveillance with electronic monitoring. The counter-proposal's requirement for a system where the perpetrator is the one who must adapt is therefore exactly what the plan advocates.

»Införa vistelseförbud för personer som dömts för våld i nära relation, så att den som utsatt sin tidigare partner för våld och övergrepp kan förbjudas att vara i ett visst bostadsområde även efter att ha släppts ur fängelset« — residence restrictions for perpetrators“Introduce residence restrictions for persons convicted of intimate partner violence, so that the person who has subjected their former partner to violence and abuse can be prohibited from being in a certain residential area even after being released from prison”

The plan explicitly commits to strengthening and expanding the green tax deduction for private individuals and to not raising overall taxes during the term of office. Lowering the tax reduction for solar panels and abolishing it for microgeneration goes in exactly the opposite direction, and the plan moreover wants all fossil-free energy sources to contribute to electricity production. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal's requirement for rejection.

»Göra det billigare för privatpersoner att minska sin elkonsumtion genom att förstärka och utvidga det gröna skatteavdraget« — strengthened green tax deduction“Make it cheaper for private individuals to reduce their electricity consumption by strengthening and expanding the green tax deduction”

The plan explicitly commits to abolishing today's shoreline protection to enable increased building, including near the shore. The counter-proposal's demand that the general shoreline protection is removed and replaced with locally designated protected areas is the same thing, and it also fits the plan's principle that decisions should be made at the lowest effective level. The plan thus supports the demand.

»Avskaffa dagens strandskydd för att möjliggöra ökat byggande« — abolished shoreline protection“Abolish today's shoreline protection to enable increased building”

The plan has its own section on increasing economic equality and establishes that increased self-support gives increased empowerment, with concrete commitments to reduced involuntary part-time work and fewer split shifts. The counter-proposal's demand for measures that strengthen women's empowerment and opportunities in working life is the same substance. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»Ökad självförsörjning ger ökad egenmakt.« — empowerment through self-support“Increased self-support gives increased empowerment.”

The plan explicitly establishes that both the goal and the means of equality policy are expanded life chances, not demands for exact or static outcomes, and that life shall be determined by the choices one makes as an individual. The counter-proposal's demand for a definition that starts from equal conditions for free choices instead of quantitative outcome targets is thus the plan's own line, as is that politics shall not direct families' internal distribution. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»och medlet är större livschanser, inte krav på exakta eller« — life chances not outcome quotas“and the means are expanded life chances, not demands for exact or”

The plan explicitly commits to strengthening teachers' and heads' authority to intervene in disruptive situations, to write order and study atmosphere into the Education Act's preamble and to make violence against school staff its own criminal classification. The counter-proposal's demand for zero tolerance against bullying and violence, strengthened teacher position and more inspections of schools where safety is deficient follow directly from these commitments. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»Stärka lärares och rektorers auktoritet att kunna ingripa i stökiga situationer« — strong teacher authority“Strengthen teachers' and heads' authority to be able to intervene in disruptive situations”

The plan explicitly establishes that broadband shall be classified as national infrastructure and prioritized accordingly, and that broadband and mobile coverage shall exist throughout the country. The counter-proposal's demands for greater state responsibility where the market is insufficient, for an updated strategy with robustness and for prioritized 5G expansion follow directly from that commitment. The plan's demand for an action plan against hybrid threats also supports the demand for robustness and redundancy.

»Klassa bredband som nationell infrastruktur och prioritera därefter« — broadband as national infrastructure“Classify broadband as national infrastructure and prioritize accordingly”

The plan explicitly promises to stop payments of tax money to extremists and to organizations that do not share society's fundamental democratic values. The counter-proposal's demand for more effective rules and controls against public funds going to actors who undermine liberal democracy is the same commitment. The plan also wants to strengthen the Security Police and ban participation in violence-embracing organizations.

»Stoppa utbetalningar av skattepengar till organisationer som inte delar det svenska samhällets grundläggande demokratiska värderingar utan som hotar människors frihet« — democracy requirements for grants“Stop payments of tax money to organizations that do not share the Swedish society's fundamental democratic values but threaten people's freedom”

The plan promises enhanced healthcare guarantee for cancer patients and itself points out major regional differences in quality and waiting times as a problem, while women's diseases are said to be neglected. That the state develops proposals for equitable gynaecological cancer care throughout the country is thereby precisely what the plan requires. The requirement for equal care regardless of where in the country you live is explicit.

»Införa en förstärkt vårdgaranti för cancerpatienter – om inte vården kan ges inom angivna tidsgränser ska patienten ha rätt att vända sig till annan vårdgivare och bli ersatt för de merkostnader detta innebär« — förstärkt vårdgaranti vid cancer“Introduce an enhanced healthcare guarantee for cancer patients – if care cannot be provided within specified time limits, the patient shall have the right to turn to another provider and be reimbursed for the additional costs this entails”

The plan builds an entire section on around 20 billion kronor annually disappearing to benefit fraudsters and criminals and that control must be tightened, among other things through a special benefit fraud unit and stopping payments to extremists. A central database of state grants to civil society and national support functions against economic crime and violent extremism are just such control measures. The plan's goal to halve benefit fraud argues against being satisfied with today's self-reporting.

The plan sets the goal of 10,000 more police officers by 2028 with stated focus on more police in frontline service and establishes that no one should have to wait hours for police to come. The counter-proposal's demands for more neighbourhood police, local presence in disadvantaged areas and better ability to get help on site are the same thing in substance. The plan's image of police coming when you call bears the entire position.

»Arbeta efter målet om 10 000 fler poliser till år 2028 med fokus på fler poliser i yttre tjänst« — more frontline police“Work towards the goal of 10,000 more police officers by 2028 with focus on more police in frontline service”

The plan describes itself the overcrowding in remand and detention facilities as unsustainable and states that more prison places are very urgent both in the short and long term. It also notes that investments in police and prosecutors will lead to more people being deprived of liberty, thus increased pressure. That the state urgently shall remedy the shortage is therefore exactly the plan's line.

»Trängseln på landets häkten och anstalter börjar på många håll i landet bli ohållbar. Att öka antalet fängelseplatser är därför mycket angeläget, både på kort och på lång sikt.« — acute space shortage in prisons“The overcrowding in the country's remand centres and detention facilities is becoming unsustainable in many places. Increasing the number of prison places is therefore very urgent, both in the short and in the long term.”

The plan builds its entire energy and industry policy on the fact that clean and stable electricity at a reasonable price is the condition for climate transition, and promises shortened approval processes for industries that transition and national coordination of study places for competence provision. The counter-proposal's demand for long-term political leadership focused on cheap electricity, right competence and smooth approvals coincides point for point with the plan's own commitments. Criticism of erratic governance lies close to the plan's criticism of poor policy decisions in energy policy.

»Utan ren och stabil el till rimligt pris blir det ingen klimatomställning.« — cheap electricity condition for transition“Without clean and stable electricity at a reasonable price there will be no climate transition.”

The plan explicitly requires that asylum legislation be adapted to the legal minimum level according to EU law, that a volume target on Nordic levels be introduced and that the number of asylum seekers decrease significantly. The counter-proposal's demands – reception mainly at war or crisis in the region, time-limited permits according to EU's minimum requirements and agreements with safe third countries – are the same line. The plan also wants to significantly increase the number of deportations through more readmission agreements.

»Anpassa asyllagstiftningen efter den rättsliga miniminivån enligt EU-rätten« — EU law minimum level“Adapt asylum legislation to the legal minimum level according to EU law”

The plan states that it is of utmost importance that the person who received a rejection leaves the country as soon as possible and commits itself to greatly increasing the number of deportations through more readmission agreements with third countries. The counter-proposal's demands for clear goals for return, more active cooperation with third countries and liaison officers on the ground are the same thing in substance. The plan motivates this with the risk of a growing shadow society.

»Kraftigt öka antalet utvisningar genom fler EU-gemensamma återtagandeavtal« — more readmission agreements“Greatly increase the number of deportations through more EU joint readmission agreements”

The plan explicitly commits to working for a reformed United Nations and opposes tax revenues being uncritically channelled through unreformed UN bodies that lack transparency and follow-up. The counter-proposal's requirement for mergers of overlapping UN bodies, with reference to overhead costs and corruption indicators, is precisely that reform direction. The plan also wants to concentrate aid to the organizations where it does the most good.

»Verka för ett reformerat FN« — reformed United Nations“Work for a reformed United Nations”

The counter-proposal requires that charging infrastructure be expanded to a sufficient extent throughout the country and that information about charging points be coordinated. The plan explicitly commits to expanding charging points and charging stations throughout the country and quickly developing a network of charging stations for cars and lorries, so that even those who live in sparsely populated areas can use an electric car. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»Bygga ut laddstolpar och laddstationer i hela landet« — expanded charging infrastructure“Expand charging points and charging stations throughout the country”

Open the case →

The counter-proposal requires an explicit proportionality requirement for interventions in property rights. The plan states that property rights and entrepreneurial freedom should have strong protection in the constitution, that state and municipality can only in exceptional cases take over individuals' property, and that the constitution should have a clear catalogue of freedoms and rights with stronger court protection. The example of the forestry industry is met by the commitment to strengthen forest owners' property rights. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»Äganderätten och näringsfriheten ska ha ett starkt skydd i« — constitutionally protected property rights“Property rights and entrepreneurial freedom should have strong protection in”

The counter-proposal demands resources to promptly reclassify more roads so that entire transport corridors can handle heavier vehicles. The plan explicitly states that important road corridors need to be strengthened so that they can handle heavier lorries, and commits to repairing the roads and restoring reduced speed limits, because high-quality infrastructure is important for jobs and growth throughout the country. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»Dessutom behöver viktiga vägstråk stärkas så att de klarar tyngre lastbilar.« — roads for heavier lorries“Moreover, important road corridors need to be strengthened so that they can handle heavier lorries.”

Open the case →

The counter-proposal requires more resources to train and employ more customs officers. The plan explicitly commits to strengthening Customs with more resources and powerful authority to stop theft gangs and arms smugglers, given that Sweden has been hard hit by foreign theft gangs. Internal and external security is, according to the plan, the state's first task. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»Stärka tullen med mer resurser och kraftfulla befogenheter för att stoppa stöldligor och vapensmugglare« — strengthened Customs“Strengthen Customs with more resources and powerful authority to stop theft gangs and arms smugglers”

The plan explicitly commits to making it cheaper for private persons to reduce their electricity consumption by strengthening and expanding the green tax deduction. It also wants households to afford the electricity bill and invests in biofuels. The counter-proposal's demand for an expanded deduction for insulation, conversion of heating and fuel thus aligns with the plan's commitment.

»Göra det billigare för privatpersoner att minska sin elkonsumtion genom att förstärka och utvidga det gröna skatteavdraget« — expanded green tax deduction“Make it cheaper for private persons to reduce their electricity consumption by strengthening and expanding the green tax deduction”

The plan undertakes to strengthen criminal law protection for journalists to counter threats, violence and other illegal attacks, and the programme establishes zero tolerance for threats and violence, not least against elected representatives and our democratic processes. The plan also uses action plans as a tool against hybrid threats. The counter-proposal's requirement for a concrete action plan against threats and hate thus aligns with the plan.

»Stärka det straffrättsliga skyddet för journalister, i syfte att värna tryck- och yttrandefriheten, motverka hot, våld och andra olagliga angrepp mot journalister och medieredaktioner« — protection of journalists“Strengthen criminal law protection for journalists, with the aim of protecting freedom of the press and freedom of expression, countering threats, violence and other illegal attacks on journalists and media offices”

The plan requires early and clear consequences for young offenders: youth prisons, more detained young people, removed confidentiality barriers between police and social services, and reinstated drug police. The counter-proposal's requirements for expanded authority at HVB, point marking, youth crime committees and criminalization of drug purchases from children are in line with these commitments. The plan also explicitly points to Danish penalties as a model.

The plan's media policy has as an explicit objective a broad range of media that can operate freely, independently and in competition with each other, and it states that a diversity of free and independent media is essential for a democratic society. Media support shall be reformed to support the transition. The counter-proposal's demand for a range of media actors beyond public service is therefore the plan's own line.

»Moderaternas mediepolitik har som mål att skapa förutsättningar för ett brett utbud av medier i olika format som kan verka fritt, självständigt och i konkurrens med varandra.« — broad and competitive media range“The Moderates' media policy aims to create conditions for a broad range of media in various formats that can operate freely, independently and in competition with each other.”

The plan commits to reducing the forest area exempted from forestry and establishes that more forest should be managed, not less, and that formal protection should occur through voluntary measures. A new review of the boundary for alpine-proximity forest, so that the boundaries more closely follow state-owned and less productive land, is a direct application of these commitments.

»Minska ytan av skog som är undantagen från skogsbruk« — less forest exempted“Reduce the area of forest exempted from forestry”

The plan commits itself to ensuring that all family legislation is gender-neutral and observes that family policy is not contemporary in relation to how people today form families. It also wants the family in its various forms to be the starting point for policy. The counter-proposal's demand for a gender-neutral parent code is thus precisely what the plan promises.

»Se till att all familjelagstiftning är könsneutral« — könsneutral familjelagstiftning“Ensure that all family legislation is gender-neutral”

The plan commits to shortening the authorities' processing times through a maximum time limit and to removing one-third of companies' administrative costs and red tape, with the aim of making it easy to do the right thing. Complicated processes and bureaucracy are identified as obstacles to growth.

The plan states zero tolerance for honour crimes, that gender equality is threatened by honour-based oppression and that more children growing up in honour-based environments should be taken into care. It also introduces a separate crime of unlawful deprivation of liberty to address abduction and isolation. The counter-proposal's demand that a parent who subjects a child to honour-based oppression should not have custody aligns with these commitments.

The plan states that the tax system must become simpler and that corporate, knowledge and capital taxes should be competitive and encourage investments in Sweden, with lower taxes on business and simplified 3:12 rules. The programme notes that overly high taxes and an over-regulated economy have hampered growth and job creation. A broad review for business competitiveness therefore lies in line with the plan.

»Ska det ske måste skattesystemet bli enklare, och bolags-, kunskaps- och kapitalskatter vara konkurrenskraftiga och uppmuntra till investeringar i Sverige.« — simpler and competitive taxes“If it is to happen, the tax system must become simpler, and corporate, knowledge and capital taxes must be competitive and encourage investments in Sweden.”

The plan commits to strengthening and expanding the green tax deduction so that it becomes cheaper for individuals to reduce their electricity consumption, and it wants all fossil-free energy sources to contribute. That apartment shareholders get the same deduction as those who build solar cells on their own roof is an expansion of exactly this deduction and a tax cut, which lies within the plan's line.

The plan promises over 50 reforms to strengthen social services, schools and addiction treatment, as well as a national no-entry programme and removed confidentiality barriers between police and social services to quickly stop a criminal career in progress. It also wants to emphasize parental responsibility and invest particularly in vulnerable areas. The counter-proposal's demand for resources, expanded authority and immediate intervention in recruitment is the same line.

The plan wishes to establish youth detention facilities and investigate lowering the age of criminal responsibility, while more young people shall be taken into care under the Act on Care of Young People and placed young people given better conditions. It is in substance a demand for new placement forms for children and young people. The counter-proposal's request thereby coincides with the plan's own commitments.

The plan establishes a zero tolerance for honor-related crimes and commits itself to emphasizing and strengthening parental responsibility as well as making equality and LGBTQ persons' rights part of mandatory civic orientation. It also wants more children in honor-based environments to be taken into care.

The plan explicitly commits to continuing to strengthen women's shelters and to strengthen protection for crime victims, which is at the core of the counter-proposal's demand for resources and valued shelters. However, the plan does not share the proposal's focus on exclusively non-profit providers, since a diversity of actors is seen as a precondition for quality. Overall, the commitment regarding women's shelters weighs most heavily.

»Fortsätta stärka kvinnojourerna« — strengthened women's shelters“Continue to strengthen women's shelters”

Open the case →

The plan explicitly commits to continue strengthening women's shelters as part of the work against men's violence against women. The counter-proposal's demand that the government help develop the shelters' activities and develop guidelines for cooperation with municipalities serves the same purpose.

The plan commits to shortening government agencies' processing times with a final time limit and to shorten and simplify permit processes for industries transitioning. The same line recurs for power grid expansion and environmental permits within agriculture.

The plan explicitly states that more government resources are needed to manage and maintain areas with valuable nature and to upgrade trails in national parks and state nature reserves. It also commits to better care for already protected nature and clarify the public's responsibility for outdoor recreation. The counter-proposal's demand for a significantly increased allocation to the management of valuable nature is thus the plan's own line.

»Det behövs mer statliga resurser för att sköta och förvalta områden med värdefull natur, samt för att rusta upp befintliga och vid behov skapa nya leder i nationalparker och statliga naturreservat.« — more resources for nature management“More government resources are needed to manage and maintain areas with valuable nature, and to upgrade existing and if needed create new trails in national parks and state nature reserves.”

The plan commits to upgrading existing and, if needed, creating new trails in national parks and state nature reserves and to clarifying the public's responsibility for outdoor recreation. Nature should be protected but at the same time be accessible to more people, not closed off to visitors. The counter-proposal's demand that the state take a clearer responsibility for the maintenance backlog on mountain trails, without limiting tourism, is therefore the plan's own line.

»Det behövs mer statliga resurser för att sköta och förvalta områden med värdefull natur, samt för att rusta upp befintliga och vid behov skapa nya leder i nationalparker och statliga naturreservat.« — state responsibility for trails“There is a need for more state resources to manage and maintain areas with valuable nature, as well as to upgrade existing and, if needed, create new trails in national parks and state nature reserves.”

The plan explicitly commits to strengthening healthcare staff through better working conditions and further training and to reducing split shifts and involuntary part-time work in public care and nursing. It also establishes that competence and continuity in elderly care must be strengthened. The counter-proposal's demands for better working conditions, more secure employment and higher professional status thus align with the plan.

»Stärka vårdens medarbetare, bland annat genom att förbättra arbetsmiljön och möjligheterna till vidareutbildning – det behövs fler händer i vården som kan korta vårdköerna och avlasta personalen« — better working conditions in healthcare“Strengthen healthcare staff, among other things by improving working conditions and opportunities for further training – more hands in healthcare are needed to shorten care queues and relieve personnel”

The plan explicitly commits to shortening and simplifying permit processes for industries investing in transition, to shortening processing times for environmental permits, and to introducing a final deadline for government authority processing. An investigation into a reformed Environmental Code with parallel permit processes and assessed climate benefit is exactly the measure these commitments point towards. The plan furthermore requires clear and effective climate policy. The demand is supported.

The plan establishes that skills supply in the Swedish labour market must improve and commits to national coordination over society's needs for the number of education places. It also notes that transition requirements in a range of professions are increasing and that shorter education programmes need to be introduced soon. An investigation that maps needs and conditions for future education and working life is precisely the basis these commitments presuppose. The demand is supported.

The plan states that domestic food self-sufficiency is only around 50 per cent and commits to building better emergency stocks, strengthening agriculture for increased domestic production and developing a plan for animal production and plant cultivation at heightened readiness. The counter-proposal's demand for investigation of supply capacity, emergency stocks and investments in drinking water is the same thing in substance. The plan also addresses the water issue through investments in advanced water purification.

The plan explicitly commits to removing all confidentiality barriers between social services and police, and it wants to stop tax money from ending up with criminals. That law enforcement agencies both have the opportunity and duty to share information with municipalities that procure, for example, residential treatment facilities follows directly from this. Without such information the municipality cannot prevent criminal actors from getting contracts with tax money.

The plan explicitly requires full-time activity from those living on maintenance support and that benefits shall be conditional on full-time activities. The counter-proposal's requirement that social services shall be able to demand active rehabilitative measures to grant maintenance support is precisely the arrangement the plan calls for.

The plan commits to removing one third of company administrative costs and one third of red tape and to counteracting over-implementation of EU decisions, where directives as a rule should be implemented at minimum level. The counter-proposal's demand for impact analysis of sustainability reporting's effects on small and medium-sized businesses and action against increased EU requirements is exactly this. The criticism of diversity reporting also aligns with the plan's principle that people should be judged on their character and actions, not on their background.

The election manifesto explicitly commits to removing all secrecy barriers between social services and police, and repeats this in the section on youth crime. The counter-proposal's demand for a thorough review of secrecy legislation to increase information exchange between social services, healthcare and police is precisely what the plan requires. The plan's goal of halving welfare fraud strengthens the conclusion, because information exchange is a central tool against welfare crimes.

»Undanröja alla sekretesshinder mellan socialtjänst och polis« — remove secrecy barriers“Remove all secrecy barriers between social services and police”

The plan explicitly states that civil defence is needed not only for war but is also a crucial resource in case of crisis, and the party programme links security to strong civil defence and good crisis preparedness based on experience from forest fires and pandemic. This speaks for the counter-proposal's requirement that the goal of managing severe peacetime stresses be retained. The part about international peace-promoting efforts, however, has no clear support in the documents, which lowers the certainty.

»Det civila försvaret är även en avgörande resurs i händelse av kris.« — civil defence also in civilian crisis“Civil defence is also a crucial resource in case of crisis.”

The party programme explicitly describes that the welfare mission has stretched far beyond its core and that what should protect security in illness and provide support for return to the labour market is crowded out by other commitments. The counter-proposal's goal—economic security in illness and effective support for return to work—is precisely the return to core mission the plan calls for. According to the plan, the work line shall be the starting point for the tax and benefit system.

The election manifesto establishes that Sweden shall wholeheartedly stand up for Ukraine, even with continued weapons supplies, and describes Russia's invasion as the most serious security crisis in Europe since World War II. The counter-proposal's requirement for continued and increasing political, economic, humanitarian and military support aligns directly with this commitment. That the support should be provided jointly with the EU and NATO also matches the plan's view of the EU and NATO as Sweden's most important international collaborations.

»Sverige ska helhjärtat stå upp för Ukraina, även med fortsatta vapenleveranser.« — continued support for Ukraine“Sweden shall wholeheartedly stand up for Ukraine, even with continued weapons supplies.”

The plan has an explicit commitment to strengthen protection for witnesses and crime victims and points out the code of silence in gang environments, where people do not dare to testify, as a problem that requires action. The counter-proposal's demand for additional measures to protect all witnesses and their relatives is the same thing in substance, and the plan sees anonymity as one of several tools rather than as an endpoint. Therefore, the plan supports the demand.

»Stärka skyddet för vittnen och brottsoffer« — stronger witness protection“Strengthen protection for witnesses and crime victims”

The plan explicitly requires residence restrictions that can prohibit someone convicted of violence in an intimate relationship from being present in a certain residential area, and contact restrictions with an ankle bracelet immediately upon identified risk, on the grounds that protection would otherwise come too late. The counter-proposal's demand for an expanded contact restriction that can encompass larger geographic areas and for proposals to be submitted quickly is the same thing in essence. Therefore, the plan supports the demand.

The counter-proposal rejects a new reporting requirement for phosphorus use with reference to agriculture's regulatory burden and wants to achieve reduced nutrient leakage in other ways. The plan states that agriculture and forestry should be supported, not steered, that the number of regulations for agriculture should decrease and that administration costs should go down, and that agriculture's environmental impact should instead be reduced through support for technological development and innovations. That is precisely the counter-proposal's direction.

»Minska antalet regler för jordbruket och korta handläggningstider för miljötillstånd« — reduced regulatory burden for agriculture“Reduce the number of regulations for agriculture and shorten processing times for environmental permits”

The plan states that the fishing industry has been hit hard by declining stocks, not least because of near-shore trawling, and that this trend must be broken, with a concrete requirement to move the trawl boundary from four to twelve nautical miles to stem the decline of herring and sprat in the Baltic. The counter-proposal's requirement for changed conditions and more long-term scientifically-based decisions in fisheries management aligns with this direction, and the plan requires that science and facts shall be leading. The plan therefore supports the requirement.

»Fiskerinäringen har drabbats hårt av minskade bestånd på senare år inte minst på grund av det kustnära trålfisket – den utvecklingen måste brytas.« — break the stock decline“The fishing industry has been hit hard by declining stocks in recent years not least because of near-shore trawling – that trend must be broken”

The plan's commitment is to take the criminals' money and even introduce a reversal of the burden of proof to be able to confiscate assets, and that legislation should be adapted so that more face accountability. Expanding the crime catalogue for extended confiscation with serious accounting fraud, serious money laundering and gross commercial money laundering is a less far-reaching step in the same direction. The plan moreover wants more crimes to lead to convictions. Therefore the plan supports the requirement.

»Ta gängens pengar och införa en omvänd bevisbörda för att kunna beslagta gängmedlemmarnas lyxprylar« — take crime proceeds“Take gang members' money and introduce a reversal of the burden of proof to be able to confiscate gang members' luxury items”

The party programme speaks directly to what the vote decides: the state may only in exceptional cases take over individuals' property, compensation must be market-based and the state and municipality must never act lightly against individuals' ownership. To this is added the requirement that all exercise of public authority be guided by equal treatment and predictability. A unified system for how authorities handle land intrusions and follow up on compensation is exactly what these commitments point to. Therefore, the plan supports the requirement.

»Ersättningen ska vara marknadsmässig. Stat och kommun får aldrig agera lättvindigt mot enskildas ägande.« — market-based compensation for intrusion“Compensation must be market-based. The state and municipality must never act lightly against individuals' ownership.”

The plan wants to legislate that children who are mentally unwell get help within at most 30 days and treatment within another 30 days, introduce a statutory care guarantee for children and strengthen child and youth psychiatry. The counter-proposal's requirement for national flow programmes that specify which interventions shall be provided and within what time, with coordination between child and youth psychiatry, social services and school, directly responds to these commitments.

»Moderaterna vill lagstifta om att barn som mår psykiskt dåligt och behöver hjälp och stöd ska få det inom maximalt 30 dagar. Och inom ytterligare maximalt 30 dagar få den behandling som behövs.« — time limits for children's care“The Moderate Party wants to legislate that children who are mentally unwell and need help and support shall receive it within a maximum of 30 days. And within a further maximum of 30 days receive the treatment that is needed.”

The plan explicitly promises to criminalize virginity testing and to ban so-called moral policing, within a zero-tolerance against honour-based abuse. It also identifies interventions performed on young women under honour-related norms as something to be countered. The counter-proposal's demand for a ban for healthcare staff to participate and for strengthened legislation thus lies directly in line with the plan.

»Kriminalisera oskuldskontroller« — criminalize virginity testing“Criminalize virginity testing”

The plan wants to ban conversion therapy that aims to change an individual's sexual orientation or gender identity, without age restriction, and stop tax funds to organisations that incite hatred against LGBTQ people or threaten people's freedom. That all conversion therapy regardless of the victim's age shall contravene the democracy requirement and ground rejection of government grants follows directly from these commitments.

The election manifesto has its own section on childbirth care being strengthened in terms of continuity, equitable care and follow-up, and explicitly states that women giving birth should have the same midwifery team from antenatal care to postnatal care. The counter-proposal's requirement that the state review the regions' conditions for maternal and childbirth care and care after childbirth is in line with this commitment. The plan also explicitly prioritizes diseases and health affecting women. Therefore, the plan supports the demand substantively.

»Se till att födande kvinnor får ha tillgång till samma team av barnmorskor från mödravård till eftervård« — strengthened childbirth and postnatal care“Ensure that women giving birth have access to the same team of midwives from antenatal care to postnatal care”

The plan explicitly promises toughened penalties for environmental crimes and observes that the penalty for violations of the Environmental Code in many cases remains at a low fine level. It also wants strong penalty increases upon reoffending and a stronger customs to stop illegal export. The counter-proposal's requirement for stricter waste legislation and toughened penalties for waste crimes thus follows directly from the plan.

»Skärpa straffen för miljöbrott och nedskräpning och ge ordningsvakter befogenhet att dela ut böter för småskräp« — toughened penalties for environmental crimes“Toughen penalties for environmental crimes and littering and give regulatory inspectors the authority to issue fines for minor litter”

The plan establishes that Sweden must reduce its vulnerability and increase its self-sufficiency, strengthen agriculture for increased domestic food production and invest in production of biofuels. It also wants a plan for animal production and crop cultivation at increased preparedness. The counter-proposal's demand for higher self-sufficiency in food and energy and for biofuels from agricultural biomass directly responds to these commitments.

»Det nya säkerhetsläget i Europa gör att vi som land måste minska vår sårbarhet och öka vår självförsörjningsgrad.« — increased self-sufficiency“The new security situation in Europe makes it so that we as a country must reduce our vulnerability and increase our self-sufficiency.”

The plan has a dedicated section on improving conditions for agriculture: lower taxes, less regulatory burden, strengthened food strategy and strengthened ownership and usage rights. It also wants to increase domestic food production and self-sufficiency levels. The counter-proposal's requirement for policy for competitive and sustainable agriculture in living rural areas aligns with these commitments.

»Moderaterna vill förbättra förutsättningarna att driva lantbruk genom att sänka skatterna, vilket vi redan börjat göra på drivmedel, och minska regelkrånglet så att kostnaderna för administration går ner.« — better conditions for agriculture“The Moderates want to improve conditions for running agriculture by lowering taxes, which we have already begun doing on fuel, and reduce regulatory burden so that administrative costs go down.”

The plan has explicit commitments to strengthen women's shelters, strengthen the position of crime victims and ease payment of compensation, and to establish specialised units for violence in close relationships. The counter-proposal demands exactly coordinated and rapid care of abuse victims, a review of women's shelters, and clearer rules for financial support. The plan's commitments therefore support the demand.

»Fortsätta stärka kvinnojourerna« — strengthened women's shelters“Continue to strengthen women's shelters”

The election manifesto wants to counter over-implementation of EU decisions and remove a third of companies' administrative costs, which is precisely what the counter-proposal asks for: a consequence analysis for small businesses and active resistance to increased requirements at EU level. That the composition of boards shall be determined by the companies themselves follows from the plan's view of the individual and resistance to collectivist quotas. The plan sees bureaucracy as a direct obstacle to growth.

The election manifesto explicitly commits to investing in the development of fossil-free fuels for aviation and electric aircraft, and in the production of biofuels. This is substantively what the counter-proposal is calling for in the form of additional measures and incentives for aviation's transition. The plan also affirms aviation's ongoing transition with biofuels and hydrogen.

The election manifesto explicitly wants to change the energy policy goal from 100 percent renewable to 100 percent fossil-free and give nuclear power a decisive role, among other things by removing the reactor cap. The counter-proposal's requirement for a broader fossil-free energy system with continued significant nuclear power is the same direction. That electricity demand more than doubles by 2045 also lies behind the requirement for significantly increased production.

The election manifesto explicitly promises that those who have immigrated shall qualify for welfare benefits through work and education, and the party programme states that the path into the welfare system should be based on qualification and be stepwise. That is exactly what the counter-proposal requires. The plan justifies the same thing by saying that incentives to work must be strengthened and that benefits can never be higher than a wage.

»Se till att den som invandrat kvalificerar sig till olika välfärdsförmåner genom arbete och utbildning« — qualification through work“Ensure that those who have immigrated qualify for various welfare benefits through work and education”

The election manifesto wants to classify broadband as national infrastructure and prioritize accordingly, explicitly on the grounds that everyone should be able to connect to a healthcare center. That is precisely what the counter-proposal requires state responsibility for in sparsely populated areas. The plan also establishes that welfare should function regardless of where in the country you live.

»Klassa bredband som nationell infrastruktur och prioritera därefter« — broadband as national infrastructure“Classify broadband as national infrastructure and prioritize accordingly”

The plan explicitly singles out criminality against elderly as a priority area: fraud crimes against elderly shall be investigated with more resources, phone fraud is described as sharply increasing and a new elderly peace crime shall be introduced. It also wants to establish special investigation groups for sexual crimes. Complementing the strategy against organized crime with fraud against elderly and human trafficking for sexual purposes thus aligns with the plan's line.

»Satsa mer pengar på att utreda bedrägeribrott och annan brottslighet mot äldre« — investigate crimes against elderly“Allocate more money to investigate fraud crimes and other criminality against elderly”

The plan explicitly pledges a national healthcare matchmaking service that shall help patients with long waiting times get care where capacity is available, and that the patient once the guarantee is exceeded shall be able to turn to another healthcare provider and have additional costs covered. The counter-proposal's demand that the system be accessible to the patient themselves and apply even when it becomes more expensive for the region follows directly from that patient perspective.

»Inrätta en nationell vårdförmedling som ska hjälpa patienter med lång väntetid att få vård i en annan del av landet där det finns ledig kapacitet« — national healthcare matchmaking“Establish a national healthcare matchmaking service that shall help patients with long waiting times get care in another part of the country where capacity is available”

The election manifesto establishes that Sweden has significantly less teaching time than other countries and that teaching time should therefore be expanded, with one hour per day in lower primary and mandatory break school from lower primary. The counter-proposal's demand for a long-term effort to change the school year, because fewer school days and long summer holidays mean students lose knowledge, meets the same commitment. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»Det finns en ett samband mellan utökad undervisningstid och bättre skolresultat. Sverige har betydligt mindre undervisningstid i skolan jämfört med andra länder. Moderaterna kommer därför utöka undervisningstiden i skolan.« — more teaching time“There is a link between expanded teaching time and better school results.

The plan explicitly promises to clarify public responsibility for outdoor recreation, invest in trails and outdoor facilities, implement a sports boost for disadvantaged areas and light up dark places around Sweden. The counter-proposal's demands for mapping civil society's conditions for outdoor recreation, better local spaces and trails, and safe lighting address the same commitments. The plan therefore supports the demand.

The election manifesto promises to remove all confidentiality barriers between social services and police and to remove the confidentiality barriers in order to quickly stop a begun criminal career in youth.

The election manifesto establishes that academic freedom must be better protected and that research shall be free from political interference, and explicitly promises to protect free research. The counter-proposal's demand for a clearer stance on academic freedom and the criticism of politically directed competence requirements and shortened terms for university boards lies directly in line with this. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»Vi måste bättre värna den akademiska friheten i Sverige och se till att forskningen står fri från politiska pekpinnar och möjliggöra banbrytande forskningsresultat.« — protect academic freedom“We must better protect academic freedom in Sweden and ensure that research is free from political interference and enable groundbreaking research results.”

The election manifesto promises a national no entry programme for young people at risk and that all confidentiality barriers between social services and police be removed, as well as a national knowledge centre for crime prevention. The counter-proposal's demands to spread a local cooperation project against recruitment to more municipalities and to map and evaluate similar projects respond to these commitments. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»Ta bort sekretesshindren mellan polis och socialtjänst samt inrätta ett nationellt no entry-program för unga i riskzonen i syfte att snabbt stoppa en påbörjad kriminell karriär« — no entry programme nationwide“Remove confidentiality barriers between police and social services and establish a national no entry programme for young people at risk in order to quickly stop a begun criminal career”

The election manifesto names serious violence against women and promises to increase penalties for precisely this crime as well as to make it easier to detain the offender. That is exactly what the counter-proposal requires: increased minimum and maximum sentences and new, more serious crime classifications. The plan moreover promises generally increased penalties for violent crimes and a new penal code with a focus on crime victims. The plan therefore supports the requirement.

»Moderaterna vill skärpa straffen för detta brott och göra det lättare att häkta våldsutövaren så att en våldsam partner omedelbart kan sättas bakom lås och bom i avvaktan på att brottet utreds.« — increased penalties for violence against women“The Moderates want to increase penalties for this crime and make it easier to detain the perpetrator of violence so that a violent partner can be immediately locked up pending investigation of the crime.”

The election manifesto notes that demands for transition in working life are increasing and that there is therefore a need to promptly introduce various shorter training programmes, and promises national coordination of training places for better skills provision. The counter-proposal's demand for more short courses and part-time courses for working professionals, with targeted commissions and resources to educational institutions, is the same commitment. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»Det finns därför behov av att snarast införa olika kortare utbildningar.« — short training promptly“There is therefore a need to promptly introduce various shorter training programmes.”

The election manifesto promises a final deadline for government agencies' processing, shortened and simplified permit processes for industries that are changing over, and shorter permit processes for electricity network expansion and environmental permits.

The election manifesto promises a national exit programme for gang criminals and a national no entry programme for young people in risk zones, with stated purpose to stop a begun criminal career and prevent children being recruited into crime. The counter-proposal's demand that exit work be adapted to children exploited by criminal networks is the same commitment. The plan therefore supports the demand.

The election manifesto promises to abolish current shoreline protection to enable increased building and more housing near shorelines, with simpler building plans and strengthened property rights. The counter-proposal's requirement for reduced shoreline protection on small lakes and narrow watercourses and simpler rules for shoreline construction in rural areas aligns with that. However, the counter-proposal's simultaneous tightening goes further than the plan wants, which lowers safety.

»Avskaffa dagens strandskydd för att möjliggöra ökat byggande« — avskaffa dagens strandskydd“Abolish current shoreline protection to enable increased building”

The election manifesto explicitly promises a special sports lift for disadvantaged areas and supplements this with investments in safe outdoor environments and a broad crime-prevention reform package. The counter-proposal's demand that the targeted sports investment be made long-term, expanded with support for leaders and association structures and evaluated aligns with this commitment. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»Genomföra ett särskilt idrottslyft för utsatta områden« — sports lift in disadvantaged areas“Conduct a special sports lift for disadvantaged areas”

The plan states that overcrowding in remand facilities and prisons is unsustainable, that more prison places are highly urgent both in the short and long term and that the plan's own investments in police and prosecutors will in themselves increase the need for places. That is exactly the foresight the counter-proposal calls for. The plan's openness to renting places abroad, however, runs counter to the counter-proposal's rejection of private solutions, which somewhat lowers the rating.

»Öka antalet fängelseplatser och se över möjligheten att hyra fängelseplatser utomlands« — more prison places“Increase the number of prison places and review the possibility of renting prison places abroad”

The plan promises the largest crime prevention reform package in modern times with over 50 reforms for social services, schools and substance abuse care, a national knowledge centre for crime prevention and strengthened parental responsibility.

The election manifesto explicitly promises to lower the price of petrol and diesel and to improve farming conditions through reduced fuel taxes, while a tax increase freeze shall apply. The counter-proposal's demand for minimized excise tax on biofuels, an agricultural deduction instead of today's reduction, and tax exemption for high-blend is the same line in substance. The plan moreover invests in the manufacture of biofuels. Therefore, the plan supports the demand.

The election manifesto commits to specialised groups in each police region specialising in sexual crimes and violence in intimate relationships, so that more reported crimes lead to prosecution. The plan also establishes that the police shall come when called regardless of where in the country one lives and points out rural areas' lack of police. The counter-proposal's demand for relationship and volume crime investigators at local level throughout the country is substantially the same commitment.

»• Införa särskilda grupper i varje polisregion som är specialiserade på sexualbrott och våld i nära relation för att fler anmälda brott ska leda till lagföring och straff« — specialiserade grupper i varje polisregion“• Introduce specialised groups in each police region specialising in sexual crimes and violence in intimate relationships so that more reported crimes lead to prosecution and punishment”

The election manifesto explicitly promises to greatly increase the number of surveillance cameras and to invest in police equipment. The counter-proposal's requirements to remove obstacles to camera surveillance and facial recognition and to give police access to traffic cameras also in real-time directly align with that commitment. The plan's goal to streamline the police's assignment towards detecting and solving crime points the same way. The integrity question is handled in the plan as compatible with increased security.

»Kraftigt öka antalet övervakningskameror« — more surveillance cameras“Greatly increase the number of surveillance cameras”

The plan explicitly states that the conclusions of the Corona Commission that elderly care was not prepared for the pandemic must lead to change, and that medical expertise and continuity must be strengthened. The counter-proposal's demand for an account of elderly care's development after the pandemic and the needs identified is a way to follow up precisely that. Moreover, the plan's position is that implemented reforms should constantly be evaluated and reconsidered.

»Coronakommissionens slutsatser om att äldreomsorgen inte stod förberedd och rustad att möta samhällsspridningen i pandemin måste leda till förändring.« — the commission's conclusions should lead to change“The Corona Commission's conclusions that elderly care was not prepared and ready to meet community spread in the pandemic must lead to change.”

The plan commits to strengthening the army, air force and navy both in terms of capability and equipment, to better be able to defend the country and uphold territorial integrity. It also points out fighter aircraft and submarines as areas where Sweden can contribute most.

The plan states that fraud with tax funds finances crime and that a first step is to determine who actually lives in Sweden. It commits to a national population census, control of coordination numbers, increased penalties for benefit fraud and its own benefit fraud unit. The counter-proposal's requirement for reinforced efforts against tax fraud and economic crime as well as correct information about who lives in the country is thus precisely what the plan requires.

»Ett viktigt första steg är att fastställa vilka som lever i Sverige och att stoppa fusket med tillfälliga personnummer – samordningsnummer.« — control of population registration“An important first step is to determine who lives in Sweden and to stop fraud with temporary personal numbers – coordination numbers.”

The plan explicitly commits to shortening and simplifying licensing processes for industries pursuing transition, and to reducing government agencies' processing times through a backstop deadline. The same demands are placed on power grid expansion and environmental permits. The counter-proposal's demand for faster licensing processes for green industrial transition is therefore exactly what the plan promises.

»Utöver det vill vi förkorta och förenkla tillståndsprocesser för industrier som satsar på omställning och få på plats en storskalig satsning på tekniker för att fånga in och lagra koldioxid.« — faster permits for transition“Beyond that, we want to shorten and simplify licensing processes for industries pursuing transition and put in place a large-scale effort on technologies to capture and store carbon dioxide.”

The counter-proposal's business policy is in substance the plan's own: long-term rules, sharply reduced red tape, general measures for small and medium-sized enterprises and functioning capital supply. The plan explicitly promises to remove one-third of companies' administrative costs, strengthen the drivers for investment through lower taxes on business and make it possible for more companies to use employee stock options. The demand thus aligns entirely with the plan.

The plan assumes that electricity demand more than doubles by 2045 and that the green transition requires that electricity is actually available. It commits to investing in the power grid, shortening the permit processes for grid expansion and shortening permits for industries that are transforming.

The plan explicitly promises to simplify 3:12 rules and to lower taxes on business to strengthen incentives for investment and entrepreneurship. The counter-proposal's adjustments to the tax rate within the threshold and the ceiling between service and capital taxation are precisely such changes in favor of the entrepreneur. The plan also states that the tax system should become simpler and capital taxes competitive.

The plan explicitly commits to curbing the decline of herring and sprat stocks in the Baltic Sea through a national measure in Swedish waters — moved trawling boundary. The counter-proposal's requirement that the responsible authority should use national possibilities to manage fisheries differently in spawning areas and limit gear is the same kind of measure with the same purpose. The plan also states that the development with declining stocks must be reversed.

»Stävja minskningen av sill-/strömmingsbestånden i Östersjön genom att flytta gränsen för trålfiske från fyra till tolv nautiska mil« — national trawling boundary in Baltic Sea“Curb the decline of herring and sprat stocks in the Baltic Sea by moving the trawling boundary from four to twelve nautical miles”

Open the case →

The plan explicitly points out trawling as the cause of declining stocks and wants to move the trawl limit from four to twelve nautical miles to protect herring and sprat in the Baltic Sea. That is the same thing as the counter-proposal requires: that cuts primarily affect large-scale industrial fishing and that coastal fishing for human consumption is protected. The plan's commitment to powerful measures for marine environment points in the same direction.

»Stävja minskningen av sill-/strömmingsbestånden i Östersjön genom att flytta gränsen för trålfiske från fyra till tolv nautiska mil« — moved trawl limit“Prevent the decline of herring/sprat stocks in the Baltic Sea by moving the trawl limit from four to twelve nautical miles”

The plan explicitly promises to abolish today's shore protection to enable increased construction, which is precisely what the counter-proposal asks for farm-based aquaculture. The plan also wants to reduce the number of rules for the agricultural industries, shorten processing times for environmental permits and strengthen the food production strategy. The counter-proposal's demands for better adapted regulatory frameworks and permit processes for aquaculture thus lie within the plan's commitments.

The plan explicitly promises to lower the tax on investment savings accounts so that saving for housing and retirement is facilitated. The counter-proposal's requirement to restore the calculation of the fee base to its original level is precisely such a lowering of ISK taxation. The plan also has a general tax increase cap and rejects higher tax pressure.

»Sänka skatten på investeringssparkonton (ISK) – så att du lättare kan spara till en bostad eller till pensionen« — lowered ISK tax“Lower the tax on investment savings accounts (ISK) – so that you can more easily save for a home or for retirement”

The plan explicitly commits to guarding the security of faith communities so that everyone can practice their faith without feeling threatened. Support that only provides one-off grants and does not reach the most vulnerable does not fulfill that commitment, so the counter-proposal's demands for reformed and long-term support align with the plan. The plan also wants to strengthen the Security Police's protective capacity and stop tax money going to extremists.

The plan builds on capturing young people at risk before they end up in substance abuse and crime, and promises over 50 reforms that explicitly strengthen social services, schools and substance abuse care. It also wishes to expand knowledge support with a national knowledge centre for crime prevention and a no-entry programme for young people at risk. Investigating how regions and municipalities should develop preventive work thus lies in the plan's direction.

The election manifesto has its own section titled that men's violence against women shall be stopped and builds the entire problem description on the fact that the perpetrator usually is a man the woman has or has had a relationship with. The plan thus uses precisely the distinction the counter-proposal wants the zero vision to be formulated with. The party programme particularly highlights violence directed at women and children.

»Vi ska stoppa mäns våld mot kvinnor« — stop men's violence against women“We shall stop men's violence against women”

The election manifesto explicitly commits to stopping disbursements of taxpayers' money to organizations that do not share Swedish society's fundamental democratic values, and to stopping disbursements to extremists. A law on democratic conditions that makes it possible to reclaim support from religious communities and organizations that breach democratic principles is precisely a tool for that commitment. The party programme also states that tolerance does not extend to enemies of the open society.

»Stoppa utbetalningar av skattepengar till organisationer som inte delar det svenska samhällets grundläggande demokratiska värderingar utan som hotar människors frihet« — no subsidies to undemocratic organizations“Stop disbursements of taxpayers' money to organizations that do not share Swedish society's fundamental democratic values but that threaten people's freedom”

The election manifesto states that Sweden must reduce its vulnerability and increase its self-sufficiency rate and promises to strengthen agriculture, build better emergency stockpiles and develop a plan for how animal production and crop cultivation can be conducted at heightened readiness.

The election manifesto explicitly promises to protect free research from political interference, and the party programme wants strong and independent universities protected from political meddling. The counter-proposal's requirement for free choice of subject and method and that politics should not direct research is thus the plan's own line.

The election manifesto explicitly promises to work for a university resource distribution system where academic quality is prioritised more highly, and that free research shall be protected from political interference. The counter-proposal's demand for a review of the financing system that protects high-quality free research and simultaneously strengthens utilisation thereby aligns with the plan. The party programme wishes to have both collaboration with business and strong broad-based fundamental research.

»Arbeta för ett resursfördelningssystem till högskolan så att akademisk kvalitet, genomströmning samt etablering på arbetsmarknaden premieras i högre utsträckning« — reformed resource distribution“Work for a university resource distribution system so that academic quality, throughput and establishment in the job market are prioritised to a greater extent”

The election manifesto establishes that the EU's focus should be on problems Sweden cannot handle alone, explicitly migration and security, and promises to strengthen Frontex and increase deportations through EU-wide agreements. Enhanced police cooperation via Europol against human smuggling thus aligns with the plan. That the plan at the same time maintains that decisions should be made at the lowest possible level makes the support less unambiguous.

»EU:s fokus ska ligga på att lösa problem som Sverige inte kan hantera ensamt, till exempel handel, klimat, migration och säkerhet.« — the EU solves cross-border problems“The EU's focus should be on solving problems that Sweden cannot handle alone, for example trade, climate, migration and security.”

The election manifesto explicitly promises to strengthen research into diseases that affect women and to invest in research on water purification and expansion of advanced water purification. The counter-proposal's two demands therefore hit directly two commitments in the plan. That the plan simultaneously wants to protect free research from political interference points in the other direction, but the targeted promises are more specific and carry more weight.

»Stärka forskningen gällande sjukdomar som drabbar kvinnor« — research on women's diseases“Strengthen research on diseases that affect women”

The election manifesto explicitly promises to strengthen defense intelligence capability and develop cyber defense, and emphasizes that defense must increasingly account for rapid technological development. The counter-proposal's requirement that signals intelligence capability be maintained and developed now, as a basis for a robust defense and an independent security policy, follows directly from these commitments. They are moreover supported by the requirement for defense spending corresponding to two percent of GDP already in 2025.

»Stärka försvarsunderrättelseförmågan« — strengthened intelligence capability“Strengthen defense intelligence capability”

The election manifesto promises to strengthen forest owners' ownership rights and that formal protection of forests shall occur through voluntariness, and to reduce regulations and shorten processing times for environmental permits. The counter-proposal's demands for clearer species protection regulations, which relieve forest owners from unreasonable investigation and inventory requirements and from systematic appeals, follow from these commitments. The plan also establishes that ownership is a prerequisite for sustainable forestry.

»Stärka skogsägarnas äganderätt genom att formellt skydd av skog ska ske genom frivillighet« — voluntary forest protection“Strengthen forest owners' ownership rights by formal protection of forests shall occur through voluntariness”

The election manifesto promises national coordination over society's need for the number of training places to improve skills supply and that vocational and adult training shall have a content that is relevant and in demand. The counter-proposal's demand for follow-up of dimensioning and clearer state frameworks for both public and independent providers follows from this, as does the plan's opening for clearer state governance of school funding.

»Få på plats en nationell samordning över samhällets behov av antalet utbildningsplatser för att förbättra kompetensförsörjningen« — national coordination of training places“Get in place national coordination over society's need for the number of training places to improve skills supply”

The election manifesto establishes that more forest shall be managed and that forestry is important for manufacturing biofuels, and explicitly promises investment in biofuel production. The counter-proposal's demands for managed forestry as a basis for employment, higher processing value and growing bio-economy therefore follow directly from the plan. The plan moreover links reduced vulnerability and increased self-sufficiency to the new security situation, which strengthens the same conclusion.

»Satsa på tillverkning av biodrivmedel« — investment in biofuels“Invest in manufacturing biofuels”

The election manifesto establishes that property rights are a precondition for sustainable forestry and that people's right to own should be protected so that the forest can be managed, and that formal protection should happen through voluntary means. The counter-proposal's requirement that forestry policy should be based on respect for the conditions of private ownership and less detailed control is exactly this commitment. The party programme adds that the owner should have the right to use their ownership as they see fit.

»Äganderätten är en förutsättning för ett hållbart skogsbruk.« — property rights in forestry“Property rights are a precondition for sustainable forestry.”

The plan explicitly states that the EU weapons directive should not be implemented in Swedish legislation in a way that adversely affects hunters, sport shooters and weapons collectors, and that EU rules as a main rule should be implemented at minimum level. A transition from possession to use regulation of weapon magazines, in line with what EU law requires, is precisely what the counter-proposal asks for. The plan also wants to simplify weapons handling for legal weapons owners.

»Det är viktigt att EU:s vapendirektiv inte genomförs i svensk lagstiftning så att du som är jägare, sportskytt eller vapensamlare drabbas negativt.« — the weapons directive shall not harm hunters“It is important that the EU weapons directive is not implemented in Swedish legislation so that you who are a hunter, sport shooter or weapons collector are negatively affected.”

The plan wants to deport gang members who are not Swedish citizens regardless of whether they have been convicted of crimes, deport foreign citizens who commit crimes at prison level and ensure that more criminal clan members are deported. To be able to remove persons who pose a danger to the country even without clear connection to a conviction is thus the plan's line, as is a strengthened Security Police against threats from foreign powers. The counter-proposal's demand to investigate and reintroduce deportation in the realm's interest is therefore supported.

»Utvisa gängmedlemmar, som inte är svenska medborgare, oavsett om de dömts för brott« — deportation without conviction“Deport gang members, who are not Swedish citizens, regardless of whether they have been convicted of crimes”

The plan states that decisions should be made at the lowest possible level and that the EU should focus on what Sweden cannot handle alone, as well as that EU directives as a general rule should be implemented at minimum level. That it counteracts EU legislation that affects the Swedish labour market model follows directly from these commitments. The plan is at the same time explicitly EU-positive in matters such as trade, climate, migration and security.

»Beslut ska fattas på lägsta möjliga nivå, så nära medborgarna som möjligt.« — subsidiaritet“Decisions shall be made at the lowest possible level, as close to citizens as possible.”

The plan has its own section on strengthening civil defence with commitments to long-term planning, personnel supply, and better emergency supplies, and states that military defence cannot fulfil its tasks if the civil defence does not function. The counter-proposal's demand for further strengthened civil defence with increased resilience in societal functions aligns with these commitments. The formulation about a green working method does not add anything that the plan opposes.

»Säkra en långsiktig planering för det civila försvaret« — long-term civil planning“Ensure long-term planning for civil defence”

The plan commits to introducing an action plan with concrete measures against hybrid threats and cyberattacks and to developing cyber defence. It explicitly also covers the private sector through better government support to companies in security-sensitive operations. The counter-proposal's demand for strengthened capacity in all parts of society thus aligns with the plan's commitments.

The plan requires that the minimum penalty for serious firearms offences be increased from two to six years' imprisonment, well above the four years now proposed. The counter-proposal's requirement of at least five years moves in the direction the plan indicates and is less extensive than the plan's own commitment. The plan also wants to see double sentences for gang criminals and significant increases in penalties for repeat offences.

»Skärpa minimistraffen för grova vapenbrott från dagens 2 års fängelse till 6 års fängelse« — significantly increased minimum sentence for firearms offences“Increase minimum sentences for serious firearms offences from today's 2 years imprisonment to 6 years imprisonment”

The plan explicitly establishes that overimplementation of EU decisions shall be counteracted and that EU directives as a main rule shall be implemented at minimum level. The counter-proposal calls for exactly this: that the insurance obligation is limited to the directive's minimum requirement on liability insurance. The plan's commitments on reduced red tape and lower administrative costs for businesses point in the same direction.

»Minska regelkrånglet och onödig byråkrati, bland annat genom att motverka överimplementering i Sverige av EU-beslut – som huvudregel ska EU-direktiv genomföras på miniminivå« — EU directives at minimum level“Reduce red tape and unnecessary bureaucracy, among other things by counteracting overimplementation in Sweden of EU decisions - as a main rule, EU directives shall be implemented at minimum level”

The plan explicitly promises to strengthen the food strategy, strengthen agriculture for increased domestic food production, and develop a plan for animal and plant production at heightened preparedness, referring to the fact that self-sufficiency is only about 50 percent. The counter-proposal's demand that the food strategy be used more actively with concrete investments to strengthen production and preparedness is the same thing. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»Förstärka livsmedelsstrategin« — strengthened food strategy“Strengthen the food strategy”

The plan contains an explicit commitment to protect free research from political interference and to strengthen academic freedom so that research stands free. The counter-proposal's demand for free subject and method choice, free publication and freedom from political control is the same thing. The plan's zero tolerance for threats and violence in a free society also supports the demand for measures against threats and hate directed at researchers.

»Värna den fria forskningen från politiska pekpinnar« — free research without political direction“Protect free research from political interference”

The election manifesto establishes that the EU's weapons directive shall not be implemented in Swedish legislation in a way that harms hunters, sport shooters and weapon collectors negatively, and that EU rules as a main rule shall be implemented at minimum level without overimplementation. The counter-proposal's objection that the possession regulation of magazines is an overimplementation hits exactly this point. The party programme's requirement for predictable legal application also supports the criticism against unpredictable criminalization.

»Det är viktigt att EU:s vapendirektiv inte genomförs i svensk lagstiftning så att du som är jägare, sportskytt eller vapensamlare drabbas negativt.« — no harmful weapons directive“It is important that the EU's weapons directive is not implemented in Swedish legislation in a way that harms you as a hunter, sport shooter or weapon collector negatively.”

The plan promises to continue investing in Industriklivet, which helps industry transition, to establish large-scale carbon dioxide capture and to invest in the production of biofuels, which covers the counter-proposal's requirement for continued and developed support for process industry transition. Making the transition cheaper and more accessible to ordinary people is matched by strengthening and expanding the green tax deduction. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»Fortsätta satsa på Industriklivet som hjälper industrin att ställa om« — continued Industriklivet“Continue to invest in Industriklivet, which helps industry transition”

Open the case →

The election manifesto states that conditions for agriculture shall be improved through reduced taxes, which has already begun on fuel, and that red tape shall decrease. A permanent reduction that phases into a broader agricultural deduction is precisely such long-term relief. The plan also wants to strengthen agriculture for increased domestic food production and lower the price of diesel.

»Moderaterna vill förbättra förutsättningarna att driva lantbruk genom att sänka skatterna, vilket vi redan börjat göra på drivmedel, och minska regelkrånglet så att kostnaderna för administration går ner.« — lower tax for agriculture“The Moderates want to improve conditions for running agriculture by reducing taxes, which we have already started doing on fuel, and reduce red tape so that administration costs go down.”

The plan explicitly promises to invest in biofuel production and points to forestry's role as a raw material source. According to the plan, the new security situation justifies reduced vulnerability and increased self-sufficiency, which is exactly what the counter-proposal cites for policy instruments that increase domestic production. The plan also supports continued government transition measures through Industriklivet.

»Satsa på tillverkning av biodrivmedel« — investment in biofuels“Invest in biofuel production”

The plan's forestry line is that more forest should be managed, not less, and that forestry is important among other things for producing biofuel. The counter-proposal's requirement that active and sustainable forestry is explicitly protected as the foundation for a growing bioeconomy coincides with this. The plan is also based on property rights being the prerequisite for sustainable forestry and politics should support, not control, the forestry sector.

»mer skog ska brukas, inte mindre« — active forestry“more forest should be managed, not less”

Open the case →

The election manifesto states that formal forest protection shall occur through voluntariness and that forest owners' ownership rights shall be strengthened, which is precisely what the counter-proposal demands when it wants to prioritize voluntary nature conservation agreements and early contact with the landowner. The plan additionally wants to reduce the area of forest exempted from forestry and instead better manage already protected forest, which supports the demand for balanced management instead of total protection and selection based on nature values rather than area shares.

»Stärka skogsägarnas äganderätt genom att formellt skydd av skog ska ske genom frivillighet« — voluntary forest protection“Strengthen forest owners' ownership rights by having formal forest protection occur through voluntariness”

The election manifesto establishes that academic freedom should be better protected and that research should be free from political interference, and the party programme wants strong and independent universities. The counter-proposal's requirement for increased teaching freedom, abolished quotas, meritocratic admission and strengthened collegial leadership follow that line. The plan's explicit no to quotas and requirement that quality should guide points in the same direction.

»Vi måste bättre värna den akademiska friheten i Sverige och se till att forskningen står fri från politiska pekpinnar och möjliggöra banbrytande forskningsresultat.« — academic freedom“We must better protect academic freedom in Sweden and ensure that research is free from political interference and enable groundbreaking research results.”

The election manifesto explicitly promises to work for a new resource allocation system for higher education where academic quality, throughput, and entry into the labour market are prioritized, which aligns with the counter-proposal's demand for a thorough review. The plan also wants to establish a national coordination of the need for education places, which responds to the demand to direct the supply of education towards skills shortage occupations. The demand for earmarked validation resources is not addressed, which is why confidence remains at medium level.

»Arbeta för ett resursfördelningssystem till högskolan så att akademisk kvalitet, genomströmning samt etablering på arbetsmarknaden premieras i högre utsträckning« — reformed resource allocation system“Work for a resource allocation system for higher education so that academic quality, throughput, and entry into the labour market are prioritized to a greater extent”

Open the case →

The counter-proposal wants forest protection through contract forms where the landowner retains ownership against annual compensation and that compensation is taxed more favourably. The plan establishes that formal forest protection shall occur through voluntariness and that forest owners' property rights shall be strengthened, on the basis that what one owns one also cares for. The plan's opposition to higher tax collection also supports the tax part.

The plan promises national coordination of society's need for the number of education places precisely to improve skills provision, which according to the plan must become better. The counter-proposal's requirement for continued good access to university places throughout the country with reference to remaining shortages of trained labour is in line with this. The plan also wants to quickly introduce more short education programmes to meet skills shortages.

»Få på plats en nationell samordning över samhällets behov av antalet utbildningsplatser för att förbättra kompetensförsörjningen« — coordinated education supply“Get in place national coordination of society's need for the number of education places to improve skills provision”

The election manifesto promises an outer time limit for agencies' processing times and to shorten and simplify permit procedures for industries that are transforming, as well as shortened processing times for environmental permits and grid expansion. This is precisely the counter-proposal's demand for faster and simpler review while maintaining environmental requirements so that climate investments land in Sweden. The plan names red tape and long processes as an obstacle to innovation and growth.

»Korta myndigheternas handläggningstider genom en bortre tidsgräns« — outer time limit“Shorten agencies' processing times through an outer time limit”

The election manifesto explicitly promises to move the trawling boundary from four to twelve nautical miles to stem the decline in herring and sprat stocks, and points to coastal trawling as the cause of hardship in the fishing industry. The counter-proposal's core demand for a move to twelve nautical miles thus coincides with the plan's commitment. However, the plan does not go as far as an immediate total stop on industrial fishing in domestic waters, which lowers confidence in the assessment.

»Stävja minskningen av sill-/strömmingsbestånden i Östersjön genom att flytta gränsen för trålfiske från fyra till tolv nautiska mil« — the trawl boundary to twelve nautical miles“Stem the decline of herring/sprat stocks in the Baltic Sea by moving the trawling boundary from four to twelve nautical miles”

The election manifesto explicitly promises to work to reduce the wolf population to 170 wolves through increased hunting, which is within the range the counter-proposal seeks. The plan justifies this by the hunters' role in viable game populations and by the fact that livestock owners should not bear the cost of predator attacks. The demand for a significant reduction in the population thus directly answers the plan's commitment.

»Verka för att minska vargstammen i Sverige till 170 vargar« — reduced wolf population“Work to reduce the wolf population in Sweden to 170 wolves”

The election manifesto promises to reduce the forest area exempted from forestry and that formal protection should occur through voluntariness, which is precisely the counter-proposal's requirement that Sweden does not internationally bind itself to exempting more forest. The plan also makes conditions for the forestry industry a question Sweden should actively drive in the EU and maintains that the EU should not decide about everything. Decisions about species protection in forests therefore belong nationally according to the plan.

»Minska ytan av skog som är undantagen från skogsbruk« — no additional exempted forest“Reduce the area of forest that is exempted from forestry”

Open the case →

The election manifesto promises to better care for already protected forest for biodiversity and that more state resources should go to managing and maintaining valuable nature, while the area of exempted land should not grow. This is precisely the counter-proposal's prioritization of management and restoration over new formation. The plan also wants to strengthen the Baltic work and salvage environmentally hazardous waste in the seas, which bears restoration of near-coastal habitats.

»Vårda redan skyddad skog bättre för att stärka den biologiska mångfalden« — management before new formation“Better care for already protected forest to strengthen biodiversity”

The election manifesto explicitly promises to modernize abortion rights, including by investigating constitutional protection for it. That is exactly what the counter-proposal demands.

The election manifesto explicitly promises to prohibit participation in organizations with violent activities and to make it criminal to be part of a criminal gang. That is precisely what the counter-proposal requires, and the plan does not limit the commitment to terrorist organizations. The party programme points in the same direction: tolerance does not extend to enemies of the open society or to violent ideologies.

The election manifesto explicitly promises to establish a national exit programme for gang criminals, which is precisely what the counter-proposal wants to secure comes into place. The plan frames this in the largest crime prevention reform package in modern times and investments in social services and schools to prevent more from being drawn into crime. It also wants to strengthen democracy's defense against violent extremism, which covers the counter-proposal's extremism motive.

»Inrätta ett nationellt kunskapscentrum för brottsprevention och ett nationellt avhopparprogram för gängkriminella« — national exit programme“Establish a national knowledge center for crime prevention and a national exit programme for gang criminals”

The plan explicitly takes a stance on how maintenance support is paid within the household and wants it to go to the woman instead of the man, since increased self-support and self-determination are the way to gender equality. The counter-proposal's demand to investigate a divided, equal maintenance support points in the same direction, even though the plan goes further than a halving. The subject matter is thus directly covered.

»Betala ut försörjningsstöd till kvinnan i stället för till mannen« — equal payment of support“Pay maintenance support to the woman instead of to the man”

The plan establishes that competence supply must become better and wants to put in place a national coordination of society's need for training places, while care workers should be strengthened with further training and medical expertise in elderly care should be raised. This is substantially the same national approach to welfare competence supply that the counter-proposal demands, including more further trained specialist nurses.

The election manifesto sets a police goal of 10,000 more police by 2028 with explicit focus on more police in uniform service, and promises that the police shall come when you call regardless of where you live. The plan describes the problems of rural areas with individual patrols over areas as large as Denmark and also includes the largest crime prevention reform package in modern times. The counter-proposal's demand for increased local police presence in vulnerable areas and rural areas thus follows directly from the plan.

»Arbeta efter målet om 10 000 fler poliser till år 2028 med fokus på fler poliser i yttre tjänst« — more police in uniform service“Work towards the goal of 10,000 more police by 2028 with focus on more police in uniform service”

The plan explicitly commits itself to reducing the prevalence of split shifts in public care and reducing involuntary part-time work, as well as strengthening care workers through a better working environment. This is precisely what the counter-proposal demands regarding working hours and influence. The demand for security-classified care places for threatening patients is not addressed in the documents, but the plan's line about staff security does not contradict it.

The plan explicitly commits to national coordination of society's need for the number of education places precisely because skills supply must improve. The counter-proposal's demand that governance and dimensioning of upper secondary places be reviewed with the vocational university model as a precursor is the same thing in substance. The plan also requires that vocational education receive content that is relevant and in demand on the labour market.

The plan wants to strengthen teachers' and heads' authority to intervene in disruptive situations, write order and educational climate into the school act's opening provision and make violence against school staff a new criminal offence. Tightened duties regarding students who harm security and mandatory police reporting of crimes in school environments point in the same direction, as does the plan's requirement that information barriers between school, social services and police be removed. School should not be a crime-free zone.

The election manifesto's energy section builds on precisely the counter-proposal's thesis: without clean and stable electricity at reasonable price there will be no climate transition, and the phase-out of nuclear power has driven up prices and threatens the transition. The plan also points out that the closure of Ringhals increases emissions in the EU, that is to say that expensive electricity moves emissions rather than reduces them. Electricity prices' negative climate policy effects are thus the plan's own line.

»Utan ren och stabil el till rimligt pris blir det ingen klimatomställning.« — cheap electricity required for transition“Without clean and stable electricity at reasonable price there will be no climate transition.”

Open the case →

The plan bases emission reductions on electrification and states that electricity demand more than doubles to 2045, with investments in the electricity grid and continued support for the Industrial Climate Action for industry's transformation. The counter-proposal only requires that the importance of electrification for industry's green transition is highlighted specifically, which is the same as the plan's own line. Industry competitiveness and climate goals are also the plan's stated reasons.

»Vår politik syftar därför till att ställa om transportsektorn genom elektrifiering.« — transformation through electrification“Our policy therefore aims to transform the transport sector through electrification.”

The plan establishes that over-implementation of EU decisions shall be countered and that EU directives as a rule shall be implemented at minimum level. The counter-proposal wants precisely to narrow the imbalance definition so that it follows EU law's terminology and does not impose a wider economic responsibility on Swedish actors than union law requires. This aligns with the plan's commitment to reduced regulatory red tape and lower barriers to entry for new actors.

»som huvudregel ska EU-direktiv genomföras på miniminivå« — EU-regler på miniminivå“as a rule EU directives shall be implemented at minimum level”

The election manifesto explicitly demands basic Swedish language skills for permanent residence permit and mandatory society orientation with examination, which is the counter-proposal's main demand. The plan therefore speaks for a legislative proposal to be developed quickly. The counter-proposal's second part, that criminal acts should always be required to deny status, however goes against the plan's demand that gang members can be expelled regardless of conviction.

The election manifesto promises to facilitate the payment of compensation to crime victims precisely to reduce suffering, and to double damages to crime victims. That the state or authorities take greater responsibility for enforcement instead of the victim having to demand the money from the perpetrator is in substance the same measure. The plan sees today's arrangement as unreasonably favourable for the offender.

The election manifesto explicitly promises a national exit programme for gang criminals as part of a broad crime prevention package. The counter-proposal's demand for additional political direction to quickly get a functioning exit activity in place is thus the plan's own line.

The election manifesto wants to enable more just rents by giving potential tenants' assessment of the property greater weight, which in substance is the same as market-driven rent-setting in new production. The plan motivates this with the housing shortage and the need for reforms that increase the building of both rental and tenant-owned apartments. The counter-proposal's requirement thus coincides with the plan's line.

The election manifesto establishes that overcrowding in remand prisons and institutions is untenable and that the number of prison places should increase, also by renting places abroad. The plan also counts on more people being deprived of liberty when police and prosecutors are expanded, which makes the capacity issue urgent. The counter-proposal's demand for swift action against overcrowding is therefore the plan's own line.

The plan explicitly commits to remove all confidentiality barriers between social services and police and to eliminate the barriers between police and social services in work with young people at risk.

The plan explicitly demands that the minimum penalty for serious weapons crimes be tightened from today's two years' imprisonment, and goes further than the counter-proposal by specifying six years. To double the minimum penalty and let weapon use in serious violent crimes at public places be an aggravating factor thus lies entirely within the plan's direction of tightened penalties.

The plan states that immigration must decrease and wants to introduce a volume target for asylum reception at Nordic levels, among other things due to the very large costs that lack of self-sufficiency entails for taxpayers. Slowing the immigration level and clarifying municipalities' mandate towards core activities follows from the plan's requirement to prioritize and choose not to do things. The counter-proposal's demand thus coincides with the plan.

The election manifesto removes all sentence reductions for those who have turned 18, which directly supports that youth sanctions should not be used for adults. The plan also wishes to see early and clear consequences for young offenders, more remand detentions for serious crimes and new possibilities for monitoring with electronic tagging. Stricter movement restrictions and a lower threshold for misconduct thus align with the plan's direction.

The plan sets a clear target: one-third of companies' administration costs and one-third of red tape shall go, and processing times shall be shortened with a maximum deadline. Driving the simplification work forward based on established targets with reasonable processing times and good service is the same commitment, because red tape and bureaucracy according to the plan hinder innovation and growth.

The plan explicitly wants to replace complicated detailed development plans with simpler building plans and remove one-third of bureaucratic red tape, precisely to shorten processes and get more housing built in a country with housing shortages in 207 municipalities. The counter-proposal's demand for continued regulatory simplification within planning and building law is the same thing in substance.

»Ersätta avancerade detaljplaner med enklare byggplaner« — simpler planning system“Replace complicated detailed development plans with simpler building plans”

The plan explicitly commits to letting citizens have greater say in architecture to reach increased acceptance and reduce appeals. Investigating new forms for citizen participation in the design of public environments and new construction is the same thing in substance. Valuing historical identity lies close to the programme's emphasis on the continuity Sweden represents.

»Låta medborgare få större inflytande över arkitekturen för att minska överklaganden« — citizen participation in architecture“Let citizens have greater say in architecture to reduce appeals”

The plan wants to take control of the population registration and conduct a national population census with the goal of halving social security fraud, and establishes that a first step is to determine who lives in Sweden. Extended possibilities to require information for control, flag incorrect payments and register ownership align directly with that commitment. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal.

»Genomföra en nationell folkräkning för att stoppa bidragsbrotten« — national population census“Conduct a national population census to stop social security fraud”

The plan wants to remove all secrecy barriers between social services and police and take control of disbursements to stop the roughly 20 billion kronor that every year disappear to benefit fraud and criminals. A comprehensive review of secrecy legislation to balance privacy protection against crime prevention is the same thing in substance. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal.

»Undanröja alla sekretesshinder mellan socialtjänst och polis« — bort med sekretesshinder“Remove all secrecy barriers between social services and police”

The election manifesto explicitly promises that personal presence should be required to confirm a coordination number and that the number should otherwise be withdrawn, as part of taking control of population registration and stopping fraud with temporary personal numbers. The counter-proposal's requirement for an issuing authority, identification, biometrics, time limit and deletion is the same measure in developed form. The plan therefore supports the requirement.

»Kräva personlig inställelse för att bekräfta samordningsnummer, annars ska det återkallas« — personal presence required“Require personal presence to confirm a coordination number, otherwise it should be withdrawn”

The election manifesto explicitly promises to strengthen criminal law protection for journalists to counter threats, violence and other illegal attacks on journalists and media newsrooms, and the party programme demands zero tolerance for all types of threats and violence, especially against elected representatives. Continued and supplemented work against threats and hate against journalists, elected representatives and artists is precisely this. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»Stärka det straffrättsliga skyddet för journalister, i syfte att värna tryck- och yttrandefriheten, motverka hot, våld och andra olagliga angrepp mot journalister och medieredaktioner« — strengthened protection for journalists“Strengthen criminal law protection for journalists, in order to protect freedom of the press and speech, prevent threats, violence and other illegal attacks on journalists and media newsrooms”

The plan states that the new security situation requires reduced vulnerability and increased self-sufficiency, and wants to strengthen the food strategy and prepare a plan for animal and plant production in heightened readiness. To incorporate supply security as a separate strategic area in the food strategy is the same thing in substance. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»Det nya säkerhetsläget i Europa gör att vi som land måste minska vår sårbarhet och öka vår självförsörjningsgrad.« — increased self-sufficiency“The new security situation in Europe means that we as a nation must reduce our vulnerability and increase our self-sufficiency.”

The election manifesto explicitly promises to reduce the number of regulations for agriculture, shorten handling times and remove a third of regulatory red tape, and to counteract overimplementation of EU decisions. A comprehensive investigation to simplify agricultural legislation with ongoing simplification mandates and equivalent supervision is precisely this commitment implemented in action. The plan therefore supports the counter-proposal.

»Minska antalet regler för jordbruket och korta handläggningstider för miljötillstånd« — fewer regulations for agriculture“Reduce the number of regulations for agriculture and shorten handling times for environmental permits”

The election manifesto states that medical expertise and continuity must be strengthened within elderly care and that the patient-responsible doctor contact shall be the hub of elderly care. The counter-proposal's demand for a permanent nurse 24 hours a day, permanent doctors and cooperation over doctor care is precisely this in practical form. The plan therefore supports the demand.

»Den medicinska kompetensen och kontinuiteten måste stärkas inom äldreomsorgen.« — strengthened medical expertise“Medical expertise and continuity must be strengthened within elderly care.”

The plan takes a direct position against tax money being uncritically channeled in increasing volumes through unreformed UN bodies that lack transparency and accountability, and wants to work for a reformed UN. Aid should be focused to the countries and organizations where it does the most good and be guided by results instead of disbursement targets. It supports the counter-proposal's demand for fewer UN organizations, lower overhead and a review of core support's value.

»inte heller okritiskt kanaliseras i ökande volymer genom oreformerade FN-organ som brister i transparens och uppföljning« — no to unreformed UN bodies“nor should it be uncritically channeled in increasing volumes through unreformed UN bodies that lack transparency and accountability”

The plan wants to introduce a new type of preventive detention sentence so that society-threatening criminals can be held in detention as long as they are dangerous, and it wants to remove sentence discounts and limit conditional release. The counter-proposal's life sentence without conversion is the same thing in substance: that the most serious crimes shall not be met with a practically lighter punishment. The plan therefore supports the requirement.

»Införa en ny typ av förvaringsstraff så att serievåldtäktsmän och andra samhällsfarliga brottslingar kan sitta frihetsberövade så länge de är farliga för allmänheten« — preventive detention for society-threatening criminals“Introduce a new type of preventive detention sentence so that serial rapists and other society-threatening criminals can be held in detention as long as they are dangerous to the public”

The election manifesto explicitly says that penalties for gross violation of a woman's integrity shall be tightened and that violence in close relationships shall be met with harder consequences. The plan also wants a new criminal code that shifts focus from perpetrator to crime victim, which supports that the crime is constructed based on the perpetrator's controlling behaviour. The counter-proposal's demands for raised minimum penalties and extended statute of limitations therefore align with the plan.

»Moderaterna vill skärpa straffen för detta brott« — tightened penalties for violation of woman's integrity“The Moderate Party wants to increase penalties for this crime”

The election manifesto explicitly promises that more companies shall be able to use the rules for employee share schemes and that the incentives for investment and entrepreneurship shall be strengthened through lower taxes. It also promises lower tax on savings through ISK for more to be able to build their own capital. The counter-proposal's requirement for changed tax rules that increase individuals' incentives to invest thus is in line with the plan.

»Möjliggöra för fler företag att kunna använda sig av reglerna för personaloptioner« — expanded employee share scheme rules“Make it possible for more companies to use the rules for employee share schemes”

The plan explicitly commits to strengthening and expanding the green tax deduction to make it cheaper for households to shift, and it wants to invest in biofuels that replace fossil fuels. Tax cuts of that kind are also in line with the tax burden not increasing. Therefore, the plan supports the demand to expand the deduction to more measures, even though vehicle conversion and water investments are not specifically mentioned.

»Göra det billigare för privatpersoner att minska sin elkonsumtion genom att förstärka och utvidga det gröna skatteavdraget« — utvidga grönt skatteavdrag“Make it cheaper for individuals to reduce their electricity consumption by strengthening and expanding the green tax deduction”

The election manifesto promises to cut taxes for all Sweden's pensioners and that total taxes shall not be raised during the term. A raised age limit that means a major tax increase for around 112,000 people of pension age goes directly against both these commitments. The plan therefore speaks for the change being reversed.

»Sänka skatten för alla Sveriges pensionärer« — cut tax for pensioners“Cut taxes for all Sweden's pensioners”

The plan explicitly requires that payments of public funds to extremists are stopped and that taxpayer money does not go to organizations that do not share society's fundamental democratic values. At the same time, the security of religious communities shall be protected so that everyone can practise their faith. This is exactly the counter-proposal's requirement for a swift reform with a clarified democracy condition for state grants to religious communities.

»Stoppa utbetalningar av skattepengar till organisationer som inte delar det svenska samhällets grundläggande demokratiska värderingar utan som hotar människors frihet« — democracy condition for grants“Stop payments of public funds to organizations that do not share Swedish society's fundamental democratic values but threaten people's freedom”

The plan explicitly commits to strengthening healthcare staff through better working conditions and further education, reducing split shifts and shortening healthcare queues because four out of ten patients wait longer than the healthcare guarantee. Queues for welfare services are described as a failure. Therefore, the plan bears the requirement that the issue of healthcare beds and working conditions cannot be considered concluded but needs a prompt broad review.

»Stärka vårdens medarbetare, bland annat genom att förbättra arbetsmiljön och möjligheterna till vidareutbildning – det behövs fler händer i vården som kan korta vårdköerna och avlasta personalen« — better working conditions in healthcare“Strengthen healthcare staff, among other things by improving working conditions and opportunities for further education - more hands are needed in healthcare to shorten queues and relieve staff”

The plan makes segregation a main issue and demands a series of additional measures: investments in the Swedish language and the quality of teaching, inspection and closure of schools that promote segregation, and zero tolerance for honor-based abuse with a national mapping. The connection between segregation and patriarchal, oppressive values is explicit in the plan. Therefore, the plan supports the demand for additional measures against segregation and for better integration.

»De enskilt viktigaste åtgärderna för att bryta segregationen handlar om kvaliteten i undervisningen och det svenska språket.« — language and school break segregation“The most important measures to break segregation are about the quality of teaching and the Swedish language.”

The plan takes up exactly what the counter-proposal requires: it states that women from the major asylum countries have very little income from their own work and requires full-time activity for benefits as well as that maintenance support is paid to the woman instead of to the man. The starting point is that increased self-sufficiency gives increased empowerment. Therefore the plan supports the requirement for further measures with the same requirements for women as for men and payment to both parties.

»Betala ut försörjningsstöd till kvinnan i stället för till mannen« — payment to the woman“Pay maintenance support to the woman instead of to the man”

The election manifesto promises to greatly lower employment costs and the cost of employing the long-term unemployed as well as to strengthen the drivers for entrepreneurship through lower taxes. The plan establishes that prosperity rests on a dynamic business sector. The counter-proposal's requirement for lower employer fees so that companies have scope to employ more directly aligns with these commitments and is supported.

»Kraftigt sänka anställningskostnaderna för den som anställer nyanlända och långtidsarbetslösa« — lower employment costs“Greatly lower employment costs for those who employ newly arrived and long-term unemployed”

The election manifesto establishes that if civil defence does not function, neither can military defence accomplish its tasks, and promises long-term planning, strengthened personnel supply and better emergency stockpiles. Investments in military and civil defence should proceed in step to create functioning total defence. The counter-proposal's demand for a civil defence built to meet war requirements throughout society is therefore supported by the plan.

»Fungerar inte det civila försvaret så kan inte heller det militära försvaret lösa sina uppgifter.« — civil defence as prerequisite“If civil defence does not function, neither can military defence accomplish its tasks.”

The plan's stated goal is a war-deterrent defence that deters an attacker, achieved through powerful investments in both military and civilian defence that go in step, with defence spending at two per cent of GDP already in 2025 and adaptation to NATO membership. The counter-proposal's demand that total defence has such strength, preparedness and endurance that others are deterred from attacking is in practice the same commitment. The demand is supported.

»Målet är att det svenska försvaret ska vara krigsavhållande och avskräcka en eventuell motståndare från att angripa Sverige.« — war-deterrent defence“The goal is that Swedish defence shall be war-deterrent and deter a potential opponent from attacking Sweden.”
