Liberals (Sweden)

The Liberals (Swedish: Liberalerna, L), formerly known as the Liberal People's Party (Swedish: Folkpartiet liberalerna, FP) until 22 November 2015, is a political party in Sweden generally described as liberal or conservative-liberal. The party is a member of the Liberal International and Renew Europe.

The Liberals are considered centre-right, but have historically been situated in the centre of the Swedish political landscape. Since the leadership of Lars Leijonborg and Jan Björklund in the 2000s, the party has increasingly adopted more conservative-liberal positions.

Since 2022, the Liberals have been a junior partner in the Kristersson cabinet, a centre-right coalition with the Moderate Party and the Christian Democrats, which relies on the parliamentary support of the far-right Sweden Democrats.
