Riksdag parties

Liberalerna Liberalerna
Strongly agree
nu är det hög tid för Sverige att införa den gemensamma valutan.

Quote in Swedish, from the party’s programme

Liberalerna on EU
Utred möjligheten till ett svenskt euromedlemskap. Eftersom över 20 år har gått sedan folkomröstningen ... behöver en statlig utredning se över för- och nackdelarna

Quote in Swedish, from the party’s programme

Centerpartiet on EU
Moderaterna Moderaterna
No programme position

Handlingsprogrammet är starkt EU-positivt men tar inte upp ett svenskt införande av euron; frågan om valutan behandlas inte i EU-avsnitten.

Moderaterna on EU
Kristdemokraterna Kristdemokraterna
Strongly disagree
Kristdemokraterna är dock av uppfattningen att folkomröstningsutfallet från 2003 fortsatt ska respekteras och att det för närvarande inte är aktuellt för Sverige att ansluta sig till eurosamarbetet.

Arguments

Common arguments on each side, written without party attribution.

For
  • Euro membership reduces transaction costs for businesses trading with the eurozone, Sweden’s main market.
  • Joining gives Sweden a seat at the Eurogroup and influence over rules that already affect the country.
  • The 2003 referendum reflected concerns that have shifted as eurozone governance has evolved.
Against
  • An independent monetary policy lets Sweden respond to its own business cycle, as it did in 2008–2009.
  • Eurozone fiscal coordination has expanded since 2010, transferring more sovereignty than originally voted on.
  • Public opinion has consistently opposed adoption — joining without a fresh referendum would lack legitimacy.

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.
