More value for money and less political control

- Organising for better healthcare and dental care across the country.

Resources and results

Despite major investments in healthcare, the results are not living up to expectations. Sweden spends around SEK 700 billion annually on healthcare, equivalent to around 11% of our GDP - 30% more per capita than the OECD average. We have more doctors (4.3 per 1 000 inhabitants) and nurses (10.7 per 1 000) than the OECD average, but far fewer hospital beds (2.0 per 1 000 inhabitants compared to the OECD average of 4.3). The figures thus indicate a well-financed sector. Yet the system is characterised by long queues, unequal access and large regional differences. Ambition Sverige wants to see a more unified, government-led and professionally organised healthcare system, where resources are used efficiently and patients get the care they need - no matter where in the country they live.

Shorter queues save lives and resources

Thousands of patients are currently waiting for treatment, operations and procedures. According to the October 2024 report by the Swedish Association of Healthcare Professionals, 89,435 people had waited longer than the care guarantee in August - the highest number since records began. Waiting times vary greatly depending on where you live. We believe that the care guarantee should not only be respected, it should be tightened, with a maximum of 60 days for surgery or specialised procedures, regardless of where you live. This is entirely possible if we work together nationally. We want you to be close to an emergency hospital; healthcare should be available where life happens.

Emergency hospitals must not be so far away that people die on the way there

Since 1961, 39 emergency hospitals have been closed, and today only around 57 remain, many with limited emergency functions. As healthcare is centralised, distances are getting longer and safety is unevenly distributed, especially for those living in rural areas.

Sweden needs more care places

During the pandemic, the shortage of care places became painfully clear. Many elderly people were denied basic medical care that could have saved their lives and instead received palliative care. According to the National Board of Health and Welfare, there is a shortage of almost 2,000 beds every day, equivalent to around 12 per cent of the need. Sweden also has one of the lowest numbers of beds per capita in Europe, leading to overcrowding, stressed staff and patients being discharged too early. Building more beds is not just a question of care, it is a question of national preparedness and defence.

Giving birth should feel safe

When you're expecting a baby, you need to know that care is close by, that the maternity ward is staffed and that help is not far away when you need it most. But today, the reality is different. Maternity units are closing, capacity is decreasing and many people risk travelling long distances or even giving birth in their cars. Childbirth care is a fundamental right.

Ambulance services are the first line of defence in saving lives

When an accident or illness strikes, you need to know that help is on its way quickly and safely. But today, ambulances are standing still due to staff shortages. The ambulance is not just a vehicle, it is a rolling emergency hospital and a lifeline for the community.

Sweden should have equal healthcare

We are a country where everyone pays taxes, so healthcare should be equally accessible to everyone regardless of municipality or region. In a debate article in Göteborgs-Posten, Ulf Ljungblad and Christer Enkvist, among others, pointed out that at least 10,000 patients die unnecessarily every year in Sweden. This corresponds to 27 people every day. This shows that inequality in healthcare is not just about accessibility but about life and death.

Multi-level organisation

Today, health care is organised into central government, 21 regions and 290 municipalities. All these levels are politically governed, which in practice means 21 different regional and 290 municipal solutions. In total, there are around 4 600 regional politicians, which is an average of 219 politicians per region.

The role of the state is mainly regulatory, while the regions are the main operational level, responsible for primary care, hospital care and dental care. Regions are financed through regional taxes (11-12 per cent). Since 2000, regional taxes have increased by around 17 per cent, but it is unclear whether citizens have received correspondingly better care and services. The municipalities are responsible for elderly care, home care and school health, among other things.

Key authorities are the National Board of Health and Welfare, the Public Health Agency of Sweden, the Swedish Medical Products Agency, the Swedish Inspectorate for Health and Social Care (IVO) and the Swedish Agency for Health and Social Care Analysis (MYVA). The Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SALAR) acts as an interest and employer organisation for all regions and municipalities.

Our vision for Swedish healthcare

Ambition Sverige wants to see increased state and professional control of Sweden's healthcare. This can best be achieved with a state-led system where healthcare is primarily governed by medical expertise built on a scientific and experience-based foundation.

Health care is nationalised and a new coordinating authority is created

The state takes over the taxing rights for Swedish healthcare. Funds are then distributed, after negotiation, to the regions and state hospitals.
A new national expert authority, the Health Service Board (HSS), is established by merging authorities. This authority will be led by people with a medical background, mainly doctors. The HSS will be responsible for the national coordination of specialist healthcare and for dialogue and negotiations with the regions. It is tasked with developing clinical guidelines, forecasts and plans for future needs of doctors and nurses. The HSS sets the framework for the national hospital plan. The authority will also manage a national healthcare database with compiled and accessible information for both professionals and the public.

Reduce the number of regions

Ambition Sverige wants to reduce the number of regions from the current 21 to six larger units, with a total of seven regional hospitals. The aim is to reduce administration and free up resources for core activities. Political governance will remain in place to ensure accountability, but day-to-day leadership will be based on medical expertise. Regions will be tasked with responsibility for regional hospitals and specialised healthcare, but also to sign agreements with private specialist hospitals and clinics. All citizens should be able to choose a family doctor, and access to general practitioners should be ensured locally.

The majority of hospitals should be publicly run, but there should also be a variety of private specialist clinics and health centres. Local anchoring should always be favoured. Company-run chains with centralised control should only be given the opportunity to provide care in Sweden in exceptional cases.

Municipalities

Municipalities have their own right to tax and are responsible for care of the elderly, home care, school health and also prevention and rehabilitation. The division of responsibilities between regions and municipalities should be clarified.

With the above vision, we create a more professional, efficient and governmental management of health care. We reduce administration and bureaucracy, focus on operational activities and increase the possibility of more equal and accessible care throughout the country.

Health care today

In the short term, healthcare needs to be streamlined and made more accessible to citizens. We have long queues for care, citizens have difficulty reaching primary care and contact is often via digital means. ”Healthcare apps” are not appreciated by all citizens. A population increase of 2 million people over the last 25-30 years, some with different needs and different cultures, places higher demands on primary care/specialist care. This results in higher costs that are not fully compensated by higher revenues.

Administration and bureaucracy should be minimised in favour of operational activities. Ambition Sverige believes that the state must take greater responsibility for the regions' results. This can be done through more independent audits, increased coordination and governance, and better long-term rules pending the major reorganisation described above.

Human resources, training and leadership

The lack of beds is a major problem. Overcrowding has more than doubled in ten years. The main reason is a shortage of nurses, which means that beds cannot be kept open. Almost all regions now report a shortage of specialist nurses, with midwives being one of the most obvious examples.

A crucial factor for the future of healthcare is a sustainable human resources policy. Despite various initiatives, many nurses choose to leave the healthcare sector for other industries with better conditions. Detailed management has increased, which has also contributed to doctors choosing to leave Swedish healthcare. The increase in staff in the regions has mainly taken place among managers and administrators - not among healthcare professionals. Leadership is needed that focuses on operational efficiency rather than values. The education system needs to be reviewed. We need to take greater national responsibility for specialised training for doctors and nurses. Nursing assistant training should be strengthened with a greater focus on practical skills.

Systemic issues

Ambition Sverige wants healthcare to use common IT systems. This applies, for example, to medical record systems, patient registers and data management in radiology and pathology, which should be coordinated nationally.

Use of medicines and side effects

Today, around 10% of emergency hospitalisations among older people are due to adverse drug reactions. These are sometimes misinterpreted as new diseases, leading to incorrect treatment and unnecessary hospitalisation. The problems stem from both a lack of guidelines and limited resources in primary care. Ambition Sverige wants to reduce the routine prescription of medicines by focusing more on the underlying causes of the disease.

Reforming dental care

Oral health is crucial to the health of the whole body, but Swedish dental care is currently significantly more expensive than medical care. Ambition Sverige believes that dental care should, as far as possible, be covered by the same conditions as other medical care. Therefore, we want both the treatment fee and the high-cost coverage for dental care to be equalised with that of medical care. The same fee levels should apply to everyone, including asylum seekers.

Paediatric dental care needs to be strengthened by increasing the minimum reimbursement level for private dentists per child treated. This remuneration should be adjusted in line with cost developments. The conditions for private dentists should be equalised with those for private doctors. Excessive supervision and connection fees for private dentists should therefore be abolished.

Defence budget - preparedness in peace and war

New emergency hospitals, more ICU beds and stronger healthcare infrastructure are part of Sweden's civil defence. Investing in healthcare saves lives even in peacetime and strengthens preparedness in war. In addition, building hospitals and care facilities favours the productive economy and creates long-term strength for Sweden. Redirecting parts of the defence budget to healthcare is not weakening defence, it is building Sweden's real defence: the security of its citizens, in peace and in crisis. Saving human lives must apply both in peace and in war. That is why healthcare is a central part of Sweden's defence.

Focus on preventive health

Finally, a stronger focus on preventive health is needed. This includes investments in antenatal care, breastfeeding support, interventions for ADHD and lifestyle changes that can reduce future illnesses. Increased co-operation between regions and municipalities on public health would reduce the use of medicines, improve health and thus reduce healthcare and societal costs.

Ambition Sverige will work for:

  • Reducing waiting lists through more resources, better coordination and increased efficiency. More beds, a care guarantee with real incentives and more patient time per doctor.
  • Ensuring access to emergency hospitals across the country. No one should have to risk their life because the hospital is too far away.
  • Guaranteeing a place in hospital at all times - there should be enough beds both in times of peace and crisis.
  • All families should have safe access to obstetric care. No one should have to give birth in a car.
  • Ambulance services should work across the country. When minutes make the difference between life and death, help must arrive on time.
  • Health care should be equal throughout the country. Everyone pays taxes, so everyone should have the right to the same care, regardless of where they live.
  • Streamlining and reducing the number of government agencies through mergers and the creation of a Health Services Board (HSS).
  • Radically reducing bureaucracy within the regions and increasing the autonomy and influence of healthcare units and their staff.
  • Taking greater national responsibility for training specialist doctors and nurses. More nurses need to be trained and nurse training should be improved.
  • Regions to facilitate more private, physician-led options. Public and private care should be treated equally.
  • Increasing knowledge about complex adverse drug reactions. This will help reduce misdiagnosis and unnecessary hospitalisation, especially among the elderly.
  • Reducing the indiscriminate prescription of medicines by requiring a more in-depth analysis of the cause of the disease.
  • Swedish dental care should be subject to the same fees and coverage as medical care.

Our plan for Sweden

5

Ambition Sverige is based on five
universal principles that make up our
compass for freedom and governance.

Ambition Sweden's policies are always tested against these principles.

    1

    Power is under the law
    (Magna Carta)

    Politicians and civil servants should be held personally accountable for wrong decisions, abuse of power or negligence.

    2

    Protection against arbitrariness
    (Habeas Corpus)

    No person should be detained without a legal basis. The justice system should be fair, impartial and protect the people, not be used as a political tool.

    3

    The good of the people and the nation first
    (Virtue)

    Decisions should be made for the long-term good of the country, not for power plays or international pressure.

    4

    Self-determination and non-interference
    (International law)

    Sweden will respect the sovereignty of other states and demand respect for our own. No foreign power should control our politics, our security or our territory.

    5

    Freedom, security and dignity
    (Human rights)

    Every human being has the right to life, liberty, privacy and security.

Popular rule instead of supranationalism - leave the EU

Swedish citizens should not be governed by supranational agendas.

    Ambition Sverige will work for:

  • Moving away from the 2030 Agenda as the guiding framework, as well as the UN Pact for the Future and the Global Digital Compact; reclaiming national targets and budget governance.
  • Saying no to the WHO Pandemic Convention and binding IHR changes; leaving the WHO Global Digital Health Certification Network.
  • Stopping the ekrona and rejecting digital euro for the public; constitutional protection of cash and diversity in payments.
  • Say no to EUDI as a condition for civic participation; reject SOU 2023:61 and ban centralised logging of everyday use.
  • Rejecting SOU 2023:22 and all general access to electronic communications; defending strong encryption and privacy.
  • Reduce state media subsidies that favour agenda-driven giants; safeguard freedom of expression and pluralism.
  • Pulling the handbrake on DSA, EU Digital Travel Identity and WHO GDHC/GDHCN; no permanent digital access systems in Sweden.

An independent defence and security policy

Security through détente, diplomacy and military defence.

    Ambition Sverige will work for:

  • Sweden's security is safeguarded through non-alignment, diplomacy and détente.
  • Sweden is building a strong defence force.
  • Military aid to Ukraine is cancelled because it increases the threat to Sweden.
  • The DCA is cancelled immediately - Sweden will not have foreign troops on its territory.
  • Licensed gun owners should be allowed to use their weapons without government interference.
  • Sweden is taking control of the monopoly on violence in all "vulnerable areas".

Stop all immigration for 10 years

Taking back control to tackle social unrest and crime.

    Ambition Sverige will work for:

  • Impose a ten-year freeze on all new immigration. Deportation of persons without legal right to reside in the country, family immigration is stopped during the period.
  • Faster deportations and sentences to be served in the home country by agreement. Deportation as a general rule after sentencing.
  • Sweden will regain control at the border. We will expand detention centres, acquire our own transport resources and introduce fast-track identity checks.
  • Stopping the shadow society. Impose sanctions on illegal employers/landlords, carry out exit checks and require a unified ID flow.
  • The fact that temporary residence permits are subject to regular review where return to the country of origin, serious criminality or long-term dependency on benefits breaks the right to stay.
  • Introducing a qualifying period of at least five years before gaining full access to welfare and benefits.
  • Improving background checks through document research, biometrics, security interviews and information sharing.
  • Placing responsibility for language and integration on the individual. Abolition of home language teaching and SFI, interpreter support for a maximum of one year.
  • Conducting a national census to ensure that there is one personal/coordination number per person. Nullity in case of fraudulent citizenship.
  • Taxpayers' money should not go to organisations that make deportations more difficult.
  • Speaking plainly in the countries of origin - Sweden is not a welfare destination.
  • That honour crimes, forced marriages and parallel systems of norms are met with immediate protection for children and women. Tougher penalties and deportation of perpetrators.
  • Tackling clan crime through restraining orders, witness protection and deportation.

Weighing costs against benefits in climate policy - prioritising the environment

A fixation on carbon dioxide hampers environmental efforts.

    Ambition Sverige will work for:

  • That the installation of a fifth treatment stage becomes a reality in the municipal wastewater treatment plants in the 30 largest municipalities, where the total annual emissions of organic pollutants including heavy metals are also measured, identified and reported.
  • That supplementary treatment is introduced in all PFAS-contaminated waterworks in Sweden to meet future limit values for PFAS.
  • Launching a programme to reduce emissions to air and water of so-called microplastics, including nanoparticles, from traffic, roads, industries, wastewater treatment plants, etc.
  • A monitoring programme is started for Sweden's 30 largest lakes, where, in addition to organic pollutants and heavy metals, the amount and number of microplastic particles are measured and reported.
  • In the wake of the Think Pink scandal, in which waste was allowed to spread unchecked in some 15 municipalities, to set up a monitoring project on waste management in general. The aim is to examine whether the control of waste is working satisfactorily.
  • That ongoing projects within Avfall Sverige dealing with emissions of PFAS from waste incineration, among other things, be given extra resources so that results can be obtained more quickly.
  • Initiate continuous random testing of organic pollutants in suspected imported consumer products, especially in products from China and Asia. A mandate should be given to the Swedish Chemicals Agency with the aim of stopping the import of the most toxic products - or influencing suppliers to supply non-toxic products.
  • That the Swedish Chemicals Agency be given the task of proposing a programme of measures to reduce emissions, leaks and spills of PFAS from various products.
  • That the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency initiate a project to report on the state of the environment in Sweden, as a guide for decision-makers/politicians.
  • That a monitoring project under the Environmental Code be started, where emissions of particles and other substances from rotor blades in onshore and offshore wind power are investigated and reported. Emissions from various types of malfunctions/breakdowns should also be reported.
  • Launch a project to provide an overview of the environmental impact and demand for rare earths in the manufacture, use and scrapping of electric vehicles, solar energy systems and wind turbines, using life cycle analyses (LCA).
  • addressing the most serious water and air pollutants, such as persistent and accumulative pollutants.
  • That the work of public authorities is based on facts - not on activism based on unrealistic projections of climate emissions.
  • Sweden leaving the Paris Agreement (from 2015).
  • Sweden to leave coalitions aiming for net zero carbon emissions by 2050, such as the UN Net Zero Coalition, the Carbon Neutrality Coalition (CNC), the EU Fit for 55 and the World Economic Forum's First Movers Coalition.
  • That Sweden abolishes the climate policy framework consisting of the Climate Act and the Climate Policy Council and renegotiates the Climate Goals.
  • That Sweden establishes a non-political climate science council that follows scientific developments in order to be able to give good advice to decision-makers. Those who are part of this council should be professors in the basic sciences on which the climate issue rests.
  • That all public commitment to the "green transition" is suspended. Innovation and energy efficiency must take place in a free market without government interference.
  • The removal of subsidies and other special treatment for companies in the transition industry. For example, companies that want to engage in battery manufacturing, hydrogen production or underground storage of carbon dioxide can do so with their own resources and not with the public's pension funds or taxes.
  • That planned bans on the sale of petrol and diesel cars are removed. The same conditions will apply to vehicles with internal combustion engines as to electric cars and hybrids.

    Ambition Sverige will work for:

  • That the escalating violence and insecurity end up being the focus of the policy pursued.
  • That the victim's well-being should be prioritized - not the perpetrator's.
  • That protection and support for victims of crime increases.
  • That legislation and the scale of punishment are adapted to meet serious crime.
  • That system-threatening crime is noticed and counteracted.
  • That Sweden's inhabitants are protected against honour violence and honour oppression.
  • That legislative work is speeded up. The preparation requirement must be made more efficient and the independence of the Council on Legislation strengthened.
  • The introduction of on-call courts for cases where the evidence is obvious and indisputable.
  • The introduction of a constitutional court that can review laws that are interpreted by courts with politically controlled guidelines.
  • To reintroduce strict civil servant responsibility.
  • That EU directives are not automatically converted into Swedish law.
  • That Sweden's own legislation should take precedence over UN conventions, and that certain ratified UN conventions should be terminated.
  • That all forms of penalty discounts are removed.
  • That a civic advisory council replaces today's party-political representation in the relevant authorities.
  • To introduce the right to decisive referendums on matters of a national security nature.
  • To limit the government's power of appointment and base appointments on meritocracy.
  • That non-Swedish citizens and persons with dual citizenship are deported upon conviction for a serious crime.
  • That non-Swedish citizens' right to Swedish rights and freedoms is limited.
  • To create legal support for being able to buy prison places abroad.

Minimising the risks of digitalisation and AI

Personal privacy instead of digital dictatorship.

    Ambition Sverige will work for:

    Regarding digital IDs and central bank digital currencies:

  • Demand public debate and referendum before implementation of digital central bank currency and ID.
  • We demand that every individual is given full legal ownership and control over their own biometric data - including the right to consent, restriction, traceability and financial protection from commercial exploitation.
  • We call for an end to the mandatory link between ID systems and financial transactions.
  • Secure and preserve cash as a statutory, protected right.
  • Set legal limits on what digital currencies and ID systems can contain, record and control.
  • Build open, non-centrally controlled digital identity options.
  • As regards AI:

  • Without free access to information, there is no free thought - and without free thought, there is no democracy. Ambition Sweden therefore demands that access to information on the internet remains free, open and uncensored - because freedom of information is a prerequisite for democracy, freedom of expression and a free society. AI provided to Swedish citizens must therefore fulfil these requirements.
  • We call for a national AI infrastructure - Publicly funded and openly and transparently vetted AI models based on local laws, language, culture and ethics should be developed.
  • We demand that no AI can make decisions that affect people's lives without full transparency, legal accountability and human control - as in Danish law. It must be clear who is behind an AI decision, what data it is based on and what values have been prioritised. Automated decisions should always be appealable.
  • Data sovereignty - All sensitive data, especially from public authorities, schools and healthcare, must be stored and processed within Sweden's borders and by actors under democratic control (not the EU or global and private actors).
  • Digital literacy - Citizens and decision-makers should be educated about new technologies and AI.
  • Active regulation to prevent platform dependency and to promote open, interoperable options.
  • Ambition Sverige calls for work to identify and analyse risks linked to AI in military and civilian security systems to be initiated and for the protection of critical infrastructure from AI-driven attacks, sabotage or disinformation to be developed.
  • Finally, we call for developing our defence capabilities against autonomous weapons systems and digitally targeted attacks, and for strengthening international legal, ethical and technical safeguards against the use of AI against populations - by other states or by private actors.

    Ambition Sverige will work for:

  • phasing out the state income tax through a gradual process over a few years.
  • Increasing the basic deduction for both earned income and pension so that it corresponds to twice the price base amount, which for 2025 would be SEK 117,600.
  • Abolishing the general payroll tax for company employees numbered 2-6 and gradually removing it for all employees.
  • Reduce VAT on food to 6% and remove the VAT rate of 12% so that VAT on restaurants, hotels and catering is also reduced to 6%.
  • Halving the number of Swedish authorities and imposing a general efficiency requirement on other authorities.
  • Lowering the benefit ceiling so that a maximum of half a price base amount before tax is paid to benefit recipients.

    Ambition Sverige will work for:

  1. Reclaiming Sweden's role as a strong host country with a clear, safe and vibrant culture that permeates the whole of society.
  2. Restoring and safeguarding Swedish culture in schools, public institutions, the justice system and the public space.
  3. Recognising the role of culture in integration and cohesion, where new citizens are exposed not only to welfare, but also to the values that build society.
  4. Promoting Swedish traditions, language, history and community values through state and municipal initiatives.
  5. Ending public support for activities and schools that run counter to Swedish values, including gender-segregated and value-conflicting teaching.
  6. Reallocate resources to activities that strengthen Swedish identity, integration and social cohesion, especially among young people and new arrivals.
  7. To reinstate a clear social contract, where rights are balanced with obligations and where respect for Swedish law and norms is a prerequisite.
  8. Strengthening the place of culture in the construction of society to enable true diversity, based on respect and shared responsibility - not division and complacency.

Ensure a functioning energy system

Plan for nuclear power - build gas turbines and stop wind power.

    Ambition Sverige will work for:

  • Swedish energy production should primarily secure Sweden's energy needs. We continue to export our surplus to other countries via existing cables but are restrictive about new capacity that raises our electricity prices.
  • That Sweden should build new nuclear power and thus return to the well-functioning electricity system we had before 1999. In this way, Sweden can offer electricity at low, predictable prices for industry, societal functions and private individuals. Vattenfall should be tasked with ensuring the rapid expansion of nuclear power.
  • Transitional solutions pending new nuclear power should be increased power output from CHP and gas turbines, especially in southern Sweden. Increased capacity and electricity production in existing plants are encouraged on market terms. All restrictions on existing hydroelectric power due to environmental assessments will be cancelled.
  • That no more wind power is built, neither on land nor at sea.
  • That existing wind power industries are checked to ensure that they meet the requirements set in operation. Also investigate the environmental effects of wind power, for example with regard to the spread of microplastics and infrasound.
  • That all expansion of large solar power plants on agricultural land is put on hold while waiting for a new regulatory framework to be in place.
  • The governance of the state-owned utility Svenska Kraftnät (SVK) and the state-owned company Vattenfall should be reviewed. SVK should become the system operator for the entire electricity system.
  • That the number of bidding zones is reviewed with the aim of equalizing electricity prices across the country.
  • That no subsidies or special support are given for so-called green transition or electrification.
  • That energy storage in hydrogen and batteries is not subsidised by the state as these are not sustainable solutions for the energy system (not cost-effective).
  • That the consequences of increased use of biomass are carefully analysed, as much is currently imported into Sweden.

Protecting agriculture and forestry from bureaucracy and activism

Stop EU micromanagement and work towards greater self-sufficiency.

    Ambition Sverige will work for:

  • Increasing the profitability of agriculture by removing climate-related requirements and reducing the administrative burden.
  • That as long as we are in the EU, EU regulations should be interpreted strictly in Sweden's favour. In the event of an EU exit, we want national support for agriculture, with the aim of increasing our food self-sufficiency.
  • Strengthening ownership and utilisation rights for forest and agricultural land. The state's ability to stop deforestation and compulsory purchase of forests must be limited.
  • Sweden says no to the EU's deforestation regulation, carbon credit trading, ETS2 and plans for satellite monitoring of forest land.
  • To introduce strict civil servant responsibility and stop activism in government agencies. Government authorities and municipal officials must promote agricultural and forest production, not make it more difficult.
  • Removing the grazing requirement but favouring grazing. The farmer knows best what suits his farm.
  • Facilitating the sale of meat and milk directly from farms. The rules for small-scale food processing and sales need to be simplified.
  • Enabling pastoral farming and other grazing-based livestock production by authorising and facilitating wolf hunting (see chapter on rural areas).

    Ambition Sverige will work for:

  • To increase regional self-determination.
  • To introduce local management of state land.
  • Reducing petrol and diesel taxes.
  • Abolish all mandatory laws on expensive climate change adaptation in housing and construction.
  • Introducing a ban on forcing property owners with functioning individual sewerage solutions to connect to municipal networks - unless there are urgent health or environmental reasons.
  • Creating a level economic playing field for municipalities to provide education, health and elderly care in rural areas. Small schools and elderly care centres should not have to meet the same detailed conditions as large entities.
  • Dismantling the Sami Parliament. The same rights and obligations should apply regardless of ethnicity.
  • To extend section 28 of the Hunting Ordinance, i.e. to authorise and simplify wolf hunting. This is to enable pastoral farming and other pasture-based animal husbandry.
  • To simplify the permit processes for smaller visitor and tourist businesses such as cafés, bed & breakfasts and farm shops.
  • Replacing licensing requirements for activities with animals, such as horse riding and dog boarding, with a notification procedure.

More value for money and less political control

Organising for better healthcare and dental care across the country.

    Ambition Sverige will work for:

  • Reducing waiting lists through more resources, better coordination and increased efficiency. More beds, a care guarantee with real incentives and more patient time per doctor.
  • Ensuring access to emergency hospitals across the country. No one should have to risk their life because the hospital is too far away.
  • Guaranteeing a place in hospital at all times - there should be enough beds both in times of peace and crisis.
  • All families should have safe access to obstetric care. No one should have to give birth in a car.
  • Ambulance services should work across the country. When minutes make the difference between life and death, help must arrive on time.
  • Health care should be equal throughout the country. Everyone pays taxes, so everyone should have the right to the same care, regardless of where they live.
  • Streamlining and reducing the number of government agencies through mergers and the creation of a Health Services Board (HSS).
  • Radically reducing bureaucracy within the regions and increasing the autonomy and influence of healthcare units and their staff.
  • Taking greater national responsibility for training specialist doctors and nurses. More nurses need to be trained and nurse training should be improved.
  • Regions to facilitate more private, physician-led options. Public and private care should be treated equally.
  • Increasing knowledge about complex adverse drug reactions. This will help reduce misdiagnosis and unnecessary hospitalisation, especially among the elderly.
  • Reducing the indiscriminate prescription of medicines by requiring a more in-depth analysis of the cause of the disease.
  • Swedish dental care should be subject to the same fees and coverage as medical care.

Legal protection in elderly care

Safety, transparency and respect for the most vulnerable.

    Ambition Sverige will work for:

  • Care for the elderly should be based on security, dignity and respect for the individual.
  • That everyone working in elderly care should be checked against the criminal record.
  • All staff in elderly care should speak and understand Swedish.
  • Strengthening the right of both elderly people and their families to be involved in decisions related to care and housing.
  • The right to safe housing should be a given when the need arises.
  • Legalising the right to nutritious food and enjoyment of meals in elderly care.
  • To guarantee the right to an analogue life.
  • Reviewing the system of trusteeship and guardianship. The system should protect the elderly, not exploit them.
  • To recognise and hold accountable the way older people were treated during the pandemic.

    Ambition Sverige will work for:

  • Education should be characterised by objectivity and enlightenment; it should be free of political activity and values.
  • The state's influence over schools should be reduced. The autonomy of schools needs to be increased and teachers freed from administrative burdens. Home schooling and similar forms of education should be allowed.
  • That universities should be politically independent places for free thought and intellectual debate, not suppliers of politically commissioned ideological education.
  • Cherish rural schools and see them as a crucial part of a vibrant countryside.
  • To counteract political correctness, broaden the corridor of opinion and let merit decide when appointing.
  • That all pupils should have passed Swedish, English and maths after completing primary school.
  • More men to want to work in the education sector.
  • To counteract the cancel culture. Introduce guidelines for public institutions and workplaces that support diversity of opinion and protect employees from being penalized for private opinions.

Making a living from your pension

Better pensions through personal pension savings and higher basic deductions.

    Ambition Sverige will work for:

  • Transforming the public pension capital into a fully self-owned pension capital, far from being politically expedient.
  • Reducing taxes on pensions by increasing the basic deduction to two price base amounts.
  • Allowing spouses to freely distribute pension capital between them.
  • Increasing guaranteed pensions for those with the lowest pensions.

A healthy Sweden where diseases are prevented

Everyone has the right to bodily integrity.

    Ambition Sverige will work for:

  • Shifting the focus from healthcare to wellness, where ill health is naturally prevented and the whole person's health is at the centre.
  • Launching a public health reform to counter the trend of increasing chronic morbidity in the population.
  • Removing VAT on health care.
  • Launching programmes at universities and colleges on the prevention of ill health by promoting natural health and healing.
