Republican Party (Sweden) (1814: Norwegian Independence)

The Republican Party (Swedish: Sveriges republikanska parti, SRP) is a Republican political party in Sweden. It was formed in 1948 after many republicans left the Social Democrats, when this party choose to abandon its goals to establish a republic in Sweden. They was also not content with the punishment the former king gained.

While the Republicans claim to be in the centre of Swedish politics, they have a clear left-wing leaning with many of their members being socialists and social democrats. The party does also have members that originates from the other end of the spectrum too. Their biggest political goal is to establish a Swedish Republic, but are also for socially progressive and liberal laws. There are also members in the Republicans that oppose capitalism, seeing it as a part of the monarchy.

The party have had hard times to appeal to many today, as people are mostly content with the current form of government. Over recent years, there have also begun to be a split in the party between its left-wing, socialist and social democrats, and right-wing, liberals and christian democrats. There are some that thinks that the party will soon be disbanded or divided.

Today, current leader of the Republicans are Yasmine Larsson, representing the left-wing of the party. The party's parliamentary leader is Peter Althin, representing the right-wing.
