How we put this together

This site is a neutral, factual explainer aimed at English speakers living in Sweden ahead of the September 13, 2026 general election. It is not affiliated with any party and does not endorse any of them.

Sources

Party positions are summarised from each party's own official materials — their party programme, election platform, and current policy pages on their website — alongside public statements by the party leadership. Seat counts reflect the most recent general election (2022) as published by the Swedish Election Authority (Valmyndigheten).

How positions are written

Each topic is summarised in plain English in a few sentences. We describe what a party says it supports, not what its critics say about it. Where a party has not yet published a confirmed 2026 position on a topic, we mark it as to be confirmed rather than guess or carry over older material.

Automated refresh from manifestos

Positions marked as live are produced by an automated pipeline that runs weekly: we fetch each party's official manifesto page directly from their website, then ask an AI model to produce a neutral 2–3 sentence summary per topic, citing only what is in that text. Each summary links back to the manifesto URL it was drawn from. Editors can also trigger refreshes manually and the source URL for each party is editable.

Visual neutrality

We deliberately use a single neutral palette for all parties, rather than each party's own brand colours or logo, so the visual presentation does not give any party more prominence than another.

Corrections

If you spot something inaccurate or out of date, please get in touch so we can update it. We publish corrections rather than silently edit older claims.
