National Conservative Party of Sweden (Oldenburg Sweden)

The National Conservative Party of Sweden is the largest political party in Sweden, and one of the three legal parties, the other two being the United Liberal Party and the Swedish Christian Party.

The party was founded by Arvid Lindman 1900, and has since then been in power.

The National Conservative Party of Sweden is a conservative party which thinks highly of the small units in society: family, church and civil society, but it is also pro-business and very military-friendly. The National Conservative Party is in favor of the Swedish monarchy, and many leading Swedish conservatives have been personal friends of the royal family.

After the founding of the party 1900, the chairmen have been:

Arvid Lindman (1900-1918)

Count Gustaf Mannerheim (1918-1950)

Baron Bertil Ohlin (1950-1965)

Yngve von Holmberg (1965-1970)

Gösta Bohman (1970-1981)

Ulf Adelsohn (1981-1986)

Count Carl Bildt (1986-)

The current vice chairman of the National Conservative Party of Sweden is Baron Fredrik Reinfeldt af Täby, who also is vice prime minister of Sweden. As Bildt has announced that he will retire by 15 August 2011, he is expected to succeed him.
