	Sweden POLITICAL PARTIES
		Sweden has for many years utilized the party list system in which the candidates for office from any given party are listed in order of party preference.
		The Social Democrats were narrowly defeated in September 1991, and the government of Ingvar Carlsson gave way to that of Carl Bildt (Moderate Party), who headed a minority four-party, center-right coalition composed of the Moderates, the Liberals, the Center Party, and the Christian Democratic party, which together controlled 170 seats.
		The Social Democrats slipped from 45.3% of the vote in 1994 to 36.4% in 1998, while the Left Party advanced from 6.2% in 1994 to 12% in 1998 and the Greens returned to the Riksdag with 4.5% of the national vote.

		Sweden’s defence forces and systems are being transformed from ones essentially formed on the threat of invasion to ones which have the capacity to enable Sweden to contribute to more extensively to peace and security in the international arena, particularly through involvement in UN-EU operations (Sweden has long history of participation in peace-keeping).
		Sweden was an active participant in the negotiations on a new EU Constitutional Treaty in which a particular national focus was to ensure that the mutual defence article did not compromise Sweden’s non-alignment policy.
		Sweden, as a net contributor, considers that the EU Budget is inequitable, “old fashioned” (too much focus on agriculture) and needs to be restructured (“modernised and reoriented”) to focus structural funding and regional assistance on the newer, poorer and smaller EU member states.

	The Swedish Political Parties
		Not until the 1988 election was this quintet—Social Democrats, Communists, Moderates (Conservatives), Liberals and Centrists—joined by a newcomer in the form of the Green Party, which in turn paved the way for two new parties, the Christian Democrats and New Democracy, in the 1991 election.
		The formation of liberal parties in Sweden took place amongst the free tradesmen and craftsmen of the cities, supported in the countryside by small farmers and rural craftsmen with the encouragement of the free-church and temperance movements.
		Sweden was then ruled by weak minority governments of brief duration up until the “red-and-green” Cabinet of 1936 linking the Social Democrats and the Agrarians.

	Sweden: Social Democrats abandon 200 years of neutrality
		Sweden’s ruling class is finally ending a policy that has kept the country’s armed forced out of active participation in two centuries of European wars, including both World Wars and the military aspects of the US Cold War against the Soviet Union.
		Sweden’s move, couched in terms rather explicitly opposed to the US, is also a clear attempt to support efforts led by the larger European powers, particularly Germany, to advance a more aggressive and independent military policy.
		Sweden’s rulers suffered a major defeat by Tsarist Russia in the 1709 battle of Poltava, and the killing of Swedish monarch Karl XII outside Trondheim during an attack on Southern Norway in 1718.

	Sweden - Everybody but the bourgeoisie loses
		The higher percentage for the Conservatives and Christian Democrats in the European elections is due to the lower abstention rate among the upper classes.
		The most radical workers in Sweden are often the ones that are most opposed to the European Union and as a result extremely prone to abstain from voting for a parliament of an institution they despise.
		One of the party leaders is a former social democrat and this is one explanation for the reason so many social-democratic voters switched to the June-list despite this party’s support for conservative and nationalistic politics.
