What's in the Liberals' 15-point deal with the Sweden Democrats?

"If the Tido parties win the election, the aim should be for all four parties to sit in government. Those are the Moderates, Christian Democrats, Liberals and Sweden Democrats. This is the most controversial point, as the Liberals have until now been strictly against allowing the Sweden Democrats to hold any ministerial portfolios."

"A stable energy supply is considered crucial for increased economic growth. Electrification should continue and fossil fuels be phased out. The current climate policy should continue and emissions should decrease in line with the Tido Agreement and the government's climate action plan."

"Sweden should deepen its cooperation with the EU and Nato, especially with its Nordic neighbours during 'a very challenging time in terms of security policy'. A general, state-run and mandatory unemployment insurance scheme should be introduced, and taxes lowered on work and business entrepreneurship."

"Pursue a strict but humane migration policy where those who integrate, work and behave are given good opportunities to stay. Strengthen growth by improving the supply of skills to Swedish businesses and prioritise strengthening Swedish schools through nationalization of governance and responsible phase-out of for-profit schools."

The Sweden Promise represents a political agreement between the Moderates, Christian Democrats, Liberals, and Sweden Democrats for potential post-election governance. The most contentious element involves the Liberals reversing their previous opposition to Sweden Democrats holding ministerial positions. The agreement prioritizes stable energy supply through continued electrification and fossil fuel phase-out, maintaining current climate policies aligned with the Tido Agreement. A Euro referendum is scheduled for 2030. The parties commit to strengthening EU and NATO cooperation amid security challenges, introducing mandatory state-run unemployment insurance with reduced work and business taxes, improving skills supply to businesses, strengthening schools through nationalization of governance and phasing out for-profit institutions, and implementing strict yet humane migration policies favoring integration and employment.
