After Moderaterna’s election success in 2006 and 2010 together with the Alliansen coalition, the 2014 election was a defeat and Moderaterna lost government power. Post-election analyzes show that a large part of Moderaterna’s voters went instead to Sverigedemokraterna. One of the central election issues among Sverigedemokraterna’s voters is welfare and therefore this presents as an critical area of study: Moderaterna’s view of welfare, with specific focus on social insurance.The purpose of the thesis is to study whether there has been a change in Moderaterna’s ideological position during the period 1991 - 2020 and whether there has been any change in Moderaterna’s view of welfare during the same period. The material consists of party programs and budgets and using an idea analysis method. To analyze the ideologies, I will use ideal types and welfare will be examined using scale-based dimensions.From the analysis, it can be seen that there has been a temporary shift in ideological values towards a more neoliberal approach. However, in social insurance there has not been the same change and Moderaterna have maintained low compensation levels to protect the line of work which is completely in line with a neoliberal policy.
