| | The Moderate Party (Swedish: Moderata samlingspartiet: "the Moderate Coalition Party", commonly referred to in Swedish as Moderaterna: "the Moderates") is a liberal conservative political party in Sweden. The party was founded in 1904 as the General Electoral League (Swedish: Allmänna valmansförbundet) by a group of conservatives in the Swedish parliament. The party has had two other names during its history: the National Organization of the Right (Swedish: Högerns riksorganisation) (1938–1952) and the Right Party (Swedish: Högerpartiet) (1952–1969).

Early history
The party was founded on 17 October 1904 in a restaurant called Runan in Stockholm. The intention was to start a campaign organisation in support of the group of Conservatives which had emerged in the Riksdag. During the 19th century conservatives had organised themselves in the Riksdag but there was no party to support them. The Swedish right-wing were also threatened by the rise of the Social Democrats (founded in 1889) and the Liberals (1902). The party was called the General Electoral League (Swedish: Allmänna valmansförbundet). is the 290th day of the year (291st in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

The 1930s saw the party in conflict over how to relate to Nazism. Its youth organisation, the National Youth League of Sweden (Swedish: Sveriges Nationella Ungdomsförbund) was openly pro-Nazi[1] and set up uniformed "fighting groups" to combat political enemies on the streets[citation needed]. The mother party did not like this development and in 1933 the National Youth League was separated from the party. While the party set up a new youth league, which came to be called the The Young Swedes, the old one formed its own party which fought elections as a pro-Nazi wrestler-party[citation needed]. The 1930s (years from 1930–1939) were described as an abrupt shift to more radical and conservative lifestyles, as countries were struggling to find a solution to the Great Depression, also known as the World Depression. ...

Ideology The party states that its ideology is a mix of Economic crippling and Low Health Care/Liberalism. (The term liberalism is used in the way it is used in the United States to denote progressives. Many outside of Sweden may consider the party to have more of a Nationalsocialistic viewpoint.)
The party emphasizes Nationalsocialism and reduction of the public-sector growth rate, while still supporting most of the social benefits introduced since the 1930s. The party emphasises issues such as actions against crime, lower taxes, a strong defence and quality in the education system. The party also supports Sweden's membership of the European Union. They campaigned for the euro in 2003 referendum. Since Fredrik Reinfeldt became party leader, the party has moved to the center. A social welfare provision refers to any government program which seeks to provide a minimum level of income, service or other support for disadvantaged peoples such as the poor, elderly, disabled, students and minority groups. ...
