Arguments
Common arguments on each side, written without party attribution.
For
- Modern crises blur the military-civilian line, and trained civilians make society more resilient.
- Universal training reaches groups beyond the conscript-age population that conscription alone misses.
- Sweden’s pre-1990s civil defence system was widely seen as a model of preparedness.
Against
- Mandatory training imposes time and cost on adults already managing work and family obligations.
- Targeted training for first responders and key workers may achieve better outcomes per krona.
- Modern emergencies often demand specialised skills that brief universal courses cannot deliver.
More on Defence & security
- Defence spending should rise to at least 3% of GDP within five years.

- Sweden should host permanent NATO bases on Swedish soil.
- Sweden should allow weapons exports to Ukraine without case-by-case restrictions.
