Our party, Sverigedemokraterna (sd), is the leading nationalist party in Sweden, and has since its foundation in 1988 received an ever-increasing voter support. The party received app. 3 % of the votes to the national assembly, 16 regional seats and 280 municipal seats in the general elections of September 2006. This was a result sufficient to make Sverigedemokraterna recognized as the by far the leading contestant for seats in the national assembly in next general elections in 2010.

Sverigedemokraterna is also active in the politics of the Church. The evangelical lutheran church of Sweden was separated from the state in 2000, after having had the king as its highest defender since the 16th century and almost every Swede a member from birth. Politicians promptly passed a law requiring the Church to be governed by democratically elected bodies. Sverigedemokraterna won 1,7% of the votes to the general assembly in September 2005, on a theologically conservative platform, thus being represented by 4 members in that body for the next 4 years.

We are nationalist democrats and dissociate ourselves from all forms of totalitarianism and racism. Our party have declared that we consider the UN universal declaration on human rights as fundamental for our politics. Today we have contact with other similar nationalist movements in Europe. SD is an organization with an active cadre of members. Activism and idealism are what the party values above all.

Sverigedemokraterna distributes leaflets and posts bills regularly in municipalities where our messages are well received. The decline of Swedish society has especially affected the traditional core social-democrat voters. Consequentially our best voting districts are in traditional working class areas. Recent legislation has made the Swedish population second class citizens in its own country, open to discrimination on behalf of newly arrived immigrants. The mismanagement of power by the established class of politicians will bring SD more close power.

Immigration, crime and globalization are all issues that affect every western country on the planet. We nationalists are all in the same boat, and should accordingly support one another as much as possible.

Ongoing expansion
Early on in 2002 Sverigedemokraterna won its first seat in Riksdagen. Sten Andersson, member of the Riksdag for Moderaterna since 1983, decided to join Sverigedemokraterna. Sten Andersson has for many years been known to be the only member of Riksdag who questions the immigration policies of the government.

Shortly thereafter renowned former mayor of Sjöbo, Sven-Olle Olsson, followed in Sten Anderssons tracks. Sven-Olle Olsson won national fame in the late eighties for calling a local referendum on the question of signing a contract with the national agency of immigration, providing for housing and social benefits for a number of third world immigrants. The contract was then rejected with a substantial margin by the voters.

As candidates for the general elections were presented in April and May, many candidates for Sverigedemokraterna turned out to be former activists for every one of the parties in the Riksdag. Also, for the very first time, Sverigedemokraterna put up candidates in all parts of Sweden, from Gällivare in Lappland to Ystad in Scania. In previous elections most SD activities had orbited around the Stockholm and Gothenburg metropolies and Scania.

From the day after the election in September 2002 party cadres is hard at work assisting in the formation of many new local branches. All newly elected party representatives in local councils are being educated in all political fields. Work is also done in the field of programme renewal. The party platform from 1999 is being replaced with a document containing the idea and vision of the party, and several action programmes for all the political areas.

Make life easier for small businesses and entrepreneurs!
SD wants to secure the welfare system and reduce unemployment, but also to give incentives for a growth in economy. It is necessary to lower taxes, simplify the tax codes for small companies and reduce bureaucracy. Small business growth is the key to success in the future.

Sweden needs families!
The family is the key component in a healthy society, and the children are our future. The state should encourage higher birth rates and help families e.g. by keeping a government subsidies for kindergartens and also by introducing corresponding support for families who choose to foster their children without the benefit of kindergarten. Measures to decrease abortion rates should be implemented.

Keep Sweden's independence!
European cooperation is a good thing, but the establishment of a new European superstate is not. SD wants Sweden to counteract the attempts to dismantle the national states of Europe. Our vision is a Europe of sovereign nations. In addition to the European cooperation we want Sweden to strive for more Nordic and Baltic cooperation, and this should also include cooperation in the fields of defence and security policy.

Stop the development of the multicultural society!
Swedish immigration policy can't be more lax than in neighbouring countries. Foreigners residing in Sweden will not be tolerated as public charges. A foreigner that can't support himself should return to his home country. In accordance with recommendations from UN:s High Commissioner on Refugees (UNHCR) the return of refugees should be the normal final solution to refugee problems. Foreigners sentenced for crime must be deported.

Law and order restored, and an effective penal system!
Society is too lenient on crime. Prison terms must be longer and seen upon as punishment. We want to help the victims - not protect the criminals. The police should be given the tools they need to combat crime.

Defend Sweden!
A dissuasive military defence must be maintained in order to keep peace. The whole country must be defended. Conscription is to be kept as the basis of national mobilisation. Emphasis on the role of volunteer defence associations.

Senior citizens need their own government minister!
We want to introduce a minister for retirement affairs with his own department. Pensions must be raised - the people that built this country must be given a liveable income.

Protect the animals!
Animals need not bear pain and fear within themselves. Painful animal tests which aim not to save human lives must be banned.

Protect the environment!
We have inherited the earth from our forebears and we have it on loan from our children. Human activities that permanently harm the nature must end. Sverigedemokraterna is a political party with an ecological philosophy.

Patriots of the world, unite!
