Since the rise of right-wing populism in Europe, liberal parties around Europe have been affected by rhetoric and voter support and started to adhere to their views and politics. This is not excluded in Sweden. When the conservative right party the Sweden Democrats entered the Swedish parliament year 2010, the established parties handled the situation in different ways. Some held true to their values, others tried to silence them and few took a step closer toward right-wing populism. This essay focuses on studying the Swedish moderate party’s party programs from years 2011, 2013 and 2021 to investigate if there has been a change from their liberal conservative political views, toward right-wing populistic views. By comparing the party program from these years, this essay hopes to provide insight in whether a change in political views has occurred within the Swedish moderate party. The study shows that a change in political views indeed has occurred toward a more right-wing populistic view in questions such as migration and law and order.
