Magna Carta
Power is under the law
Politicians and civil servants should be held personally accountable for wrong decisions, abuse of power or negligence.
The basis of Ambition Sverige
Our five principles
Ambition Sweden's policies are always tested against these principles.
Read the principlesPolitiken's compass
Five fixed points for decisions, responsibility and freedom.
These principles set out the guiding principles for Ambition Sverige’s policy proposals: power must be subject to scrutiny, rights must be protected and Sweden’s self-determination must be safeguarded.
Habeas Corpus
Protection against arbitrariness
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.
Virtue
The good of the people and the nation first
Decisions should be made for the long-term good of the country, not for power plays or international pressure.
International law
Self-determination and non-interference
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.
Human rights
Freedom, security and dignity
Every human being has the right to life, liberty, privacy and security.
The principles must be evident in practice.
They are intended to serve as a test of every political proposal, from the rule of law and the constitution to the economy, welfare, and Sweden's relations with the outside world.
