The Swedish Green Party (Miljöpartiet) has launched its 2026 election campaign with a manifesto centered on a “fair climate transition.” Spokespersons Amanda Lind and Daniel Helldén outlined priorities including nature protection, an “electric car offensive” to expand charging infrastructure, and railway upgrades to reduce fossil fuel dependency. To address social inequality, the party proposed a tax on the super-rich, arguing that those with the greatest economic resources should bear more responsibility. In response to shifting political dynamics, the Green Party and the Center Party (C) have initiated a joint debate tour. Green Party Secretary Katrin Wissing and Center Party Secretary Hannes Hervieu emphasized that the climate must occupy a “much larger space” in the upcoming political discourse. Recent opinion polls indicate a volatile landscape. A Novus poll for TV4 Nyheterna shows the gap between the Tidö parties and the opposition narrowing; Moderaterna rose to 18.3 percent while Sverigedemokraterna fell slightly to 19.1 percent. Meanwhile, Socialdemokraterna reached a mandate-period low of 30.1 percent. Additionally, an SVT/Verian poll shows the Center Party rising to 8 percent, a resurgence that Verian’s Per Söderpalm noted has “no previous examples of a comeback of this magnitude.” In light of these shifts, Center Party leader Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist and Secretary Hannes Hervieu are promoting a “Middle Alternative,” which could consist of a coalition between the Social Democrats, Center Party, Christian Democrats, and potentially the Green Party. ~~Recent Novus polling confirms~~ This strategy aims to attract undecided voters concerned about the ~~narrowing gap between blocs, noting that~~ influence of the ~~Christian~~ Sweden Democrats ~~(KD) have also reached a high of 6.3 percent.~~ (SD) and the Left Party (V) within their respective blocs.
