List of political parties in Sweden for EU election 2024

This is a list generally for my own personal use.

The goal is for the reader to get an idea of what each party really stands for. I'm trying to only add things that the party has commented on in a concrete way, or shown a clear goal of attaining. No general 'I want to do cool stuff lol' or hand wavey 'i think the environment is important :):):):)' type of statements.

I have cut this list down pretty heavily compared to the original running list as I didn't want to do 100+ investigations given that a lot of information for these parties either doesnt exist, is written in blovian (link), or is behind some random news site paywall.

I based my assessment of who gets into this list on which parties in the previous link put a picture on their application. No, this is not a a particuarly scientific approach.

If something is wrong here then leave a comment, but note that with a list this size I could only do so much research on each party before moving on.

This is a work in progress
