The campaign before the 1999 EU parliamentary election was very much a contest between the parties and individuals who represented opposing views on EU membership in the referendum five years ago.
Early in the 1999 election campaign, Carl Bildt, chairman of the Moderates and Sweden's former prime minister, was appointed a UN mediator in Kosovo.
Swedish Green Party members have interpreted this agreement, reached at an EU summit in Germany early in June 1999, as incompatible with traditional Swedish military nonalignment.

 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 stability of Swedish parliamentary politics was due to the balance between the two party blocs: the socialist and the nonsocialist.
As elections are held simultaneously (since 1994, every four years) to Parliament, county councils and municipal councils, election campaigns are national affairs and this makes it difficult for small, local parties with nationwide ambitions to catch the attention of the media.

The Swedish Social Democrats were in a position to implement these ideas as early as the 1930s which would have made them the first government in Europe to embrace the new orthodoxy which has subsequently come to be known as Keynsianism.
The Swedish unions lost the argument and as a result the oft-disputed Paragraph 34 was included in the Saltsjöbaden Agreement, reserving for management the right to determine the breakdown of work in the work place.

 Major issues of the 1998 Swedish election
It is primarily the interests of the Swedish multi-nationals that are represented by SAF and its political instrument, the Conservative ("Moderate") Party.
Against this background, it was inevitable that the current election campaign should be dominated by the issues of unemployment, the economy and the state of general welfare.
The idea was to convince a critical mass of the Swedish population to abandon its reliance on the general welfare system-- a demonstrably efficient form of collective savings and insurance-- for a life of splendid isolation and the selective, profitable mercies of the private insurance industry.
