y writing off debts. Assistance from the affluent countries to the poor of the world must be increased and permeated by an equal opportunities perspective. Sweden’s development assistance must be restored to 1% of GDI. As a result of EU membership, governmental power has grown at the expense of the Riksdag. We wish to strengthen the role of the Riksdag. In practice, the EU is about to be transformed into a heavily centralised federal state. A left government must counteract that transformation, working instead for the return of power from the EU to the member states and for the EU’s democratisation. We say No to membership of the Economic and Monetary Union, EMU, and we take the view that this question must be decided by a referendum. Justice is possible The Left Party is a socialist party. Our aim is a socialist society in which universal human equality forms the basis of an equitable social order and in which democracy also includes power over the economy. The Left Party’s work against capitalism is a dividing line between us and all other parties. We stress the difference between right and left and we say openly that not everyone benefits from our policy. The Left Party is also a feminist party working for a society free from gender oppression in all its forms. This means that women’s power must increase and that politics must be based on women’s experience and interests. The election is about the kind of society we are to have, whether we are to equalise differences and reduce gaps in society or accentuate them. The Left Party stands for a policy based on solidarity and justice. 60
