Riksdag parties

Moderaterna Moderaterna
Strongly agree
Bolagsskatten ska hållas konkurrenskraftig; detsamma gäller övriga skatter som inverkar negativt på entreprenörskap och förmågan att investera.

Quote in Swedish, from the party’s programme

Moderaterna on Economy
göra Sverige till Europas mest attraktiva land för investeringar i framtidens tillväxtbranscher.

Quote in Swedish, from the party’s programme

Liberalerna on Economy
Vissa länder konkurrerar dessutom med låga bolagsskatter. För att hantera denna utmaning krävs gemensamma åtaganden och att det globala samarbetet stärks, i Sverige, EU och i resten av världen.

Arguments

Common arguments on each side, written without party attribution.

For
  • Lower corporate rates can make Sweden more competitive in attracting headquarters and high-skill jobs.
  • Companies tend to expand investment when after-tax returns on new projects rise.
  • Other Nordic countries have cut corporate rates without losing their welfare-state funding base.
Against
  • Corporate tax cuts reduce revenue available for the schools, transport, and research firms also rely on.
  • Investment decisions are driven by skilled labour and infrastructure as much as by tax rates.
  • Cuts often benefit shareholders through buybacks and dividends rather than expanding domestic activity.

About Polara

Polara is a personal side project by Jonas Svensson — an attempt to see whether you can build a Swedish voting compass without party colour, agenda, or political funding.

The site draws on what the parties say themselves: election manifestos, party programmes, and websites. Every position links back to its source, and uncertainty is shown rather than hidden.

Open method. No accounts. No tracking. Here to help you think, not to persuade.
