Economic Issues:
Budget: No man is free if he's in debt, as Göran Persson said. Defecits should never be allowed except as a last desperate resorte in times of crisis. Income Tax: Keep income tax on a reasonable level. Support a progressive income tax, but not to the extent of the current Swedish one. Property Taxes: The rates were a horribly unfair system that hurt middleclass homeowners, and should not be reinstated. Inheritance Tax: We should not tax people because their loved ones die, and have some of their property transferred. Green Taxes: Support to some extent, but some of them are simply stupid. Privatisation: Mostly in favour. The Swedish goverment should not be in the business of running corporations. (Support them maintaining control over Swedish Railroads though)
Domestic Issues:
Lower Education: Support stricter disipline in Swedish Schools. A new grading system is needed. Higher Education: Free education is important in order for people to be able to advance in society. No College or University fees. Accessability to a school should be based on a person's knowledge, not their economic background. Labour Unions: Swedish Labour Unions are outdated and undemocratic. They should be forced to reform, and their power should be diminished radicly. Law and Order: Harsher punishments for rapists, murderers, and people who commit other violent crimes. Stop treating offenders like victims, and victims like offenders. Public transport: Prices should be kept at a low level. Pensioners should get free travel. Immigration: Stricer rules and stricter enforcement. More efforts to help immigrants intergrate into Swedish Society is needed so they don't get stuck in the million-project suburbs forever. Higher requirments for Swedish Citizenship. Social Issues:
Gay Rights: Strongly support same-sex marriage and adoption. Euthanasia: There should be a legal option for you to end your life in certain situations. Abortion: Moderatly Pro-life. Regulation should be kept very strict, but a total ban would only lead women to commit illegal abortions instead. Drinking Age: People should have the right to purchase alcohol when they turn 18.
Foregin Issues:
European Union: Eurosceptic. The EU's power needs to be decreased, and given back to the national legislators. The Euro: Has proven to be a bad idea. Keep the own Swedish currency. NATO: Swedish Military should continue to co-operate with Nato, but not become a full member.
Constituional Issues:
Decentralisation: Strongly support. More power to local goverment. New regions: Support merging the current counties into regions in theory, although I hate the idea of Skåne being forced together with Blekinge. Monarchy: The benefits of maintaining the monarchy outnumbers the benefits of abolishing it. The kingship is more of a symbol than a political office anyway, so to me electing it would be like having a vote on the Swedish Flag every four years.
