Our Politics

The Liberals of Gothenburg believe that every person should have the freedom and opportunity to shape their own future.

We want a city where children receive a world-class education, businesses can grow and create jobs, healthcare is accessible when needed, and everyone can live in safety and dignity.

Our policies are guided by a simple principle: people should have as much freedom as possible and as much support as necessary.

Knowledge opens doors

Education is the most important tool for creating opportunity and reducing inequality.

We want Gothenburg’s schools to focus on knowledge, high expectations and a safe learning environment. Every child deserves the chance to succeed, regardless of background or where they grow up.

Our priorities

• Strong focus on reading, writing and mathematics
• Safe classrooms and better study conditions
• Early support for pupils who need extra help
• More authority for teachers
• High expectations for every student

Strong foundations for life

The preschool years are crucial for children’s development.

We want high-quality preschools with smaller groups, skilled staff and a strong focus on language development.

Our priorities

• Stronger focus on Swedish language skills
• More qualified preschool teachers
• Smaller groups where possible
• Early support for children with special needs

Growth creates opportunities

Businesses create jobs, innovation and prosperity.

Gothenburg should be Sweden’s most business-friendly city. We want fewer bureaucratic obstacles and stronger cooperation between the city, universities and the private sector.

Our priorities

• Reduce bureaucracy for businesses
• Shorter permit and planning processes
• Stronger support for innovation and entrepreneurship
• Better conditions for small businesses
• Lower local taxes over time

Care when you need it

Healthcare should be accessible, reliable and centred around the patient.

Too many people wait too long for care. We want stronger primary care, shorter waiting times and better continuity for patients.

Our priorities

• Shorter waiting times
• Stronger primary healthcare
• More people with a named family doctor
• Better coordination between healthcare providers

Dignity throughout life

Growing older should not mean losing independence or quality of life.

We want elderly care that combines safety, choice and dignity.

Our priorities

• Greater freedom of choice
• Better quality monitoring
• More activities and social opportunities
• Skilled staff with good language skills
• Stronger protection against abuse and neglect

Freedom requires safety

People should feel safe in every part of Gothenburg.

We want to prevent crime through early intervention while also ensuring effective enforcement against criminal activity.

Our priorities

• Stronger work against gang crime
• More preventive efforts for children and young people
• Safer public spaces
• Better preparedness and crisis planning
• Stronger cooperation between schools, social services and police

Every person should be free

Freedom means being able to live your own life without fear, discrimination or oppression.

We defend equal rights for women, LGBTQI people and everyone who wants to live freely.

Our priorities

• Combat honour-related oppression
• Prevent domestic violence
• Promote gender equality
• Defend LGBTQI rights
• Strengthen individual rights and freedoms

Building a city for the future

Gothenburg continues to grow. New housing and infrastructure are needed, but development must respect the character of the city and the needs of residents.

Our priorities

• More housing across Gothenburg
• Faster planning and construction processes
• More opportunities for home ownership
• Better public transport connections
• Safe and attractive urban environments

Green growth and innovation

The climate transition should create jobs and strengthen Gothenburg’s competitiveness.

We believe in technology, innovation and entrepreneurship as the main drivers of environmental progress.

Our priorities

• Support electrification and clean technology
• Promote sustainable transport
• Strengthen climate-smart urban development
• Protect green areas and biodiversity

A vibrant city is a free city

Culture, sports and voluntary organisations strengthen communities and improve quality of life.

We want Gothenburg to be a city where people can meet, create and participate.

Our priorities

• Strong support for cultural life
• Better conditions for sports clubs
• More facilities for sports and recreation
• Stronger support for civil society organisations
• More opportunities for young people to participate

We believe in freedom, responsibility and opportunity.

We want Gothenburg to be a city where people can study, work, start businesses, raise families and grow old with dignity.

A city that is open to new ideas, confident about the future and committed to protecting individual freedom.
