The Liberal Party 64 Folkpartiet Liberalerna “We have a vision of how politics should create opportunities instead of obstacles. We want to empower the individual. We want to give people scope and opportunities for growth. People are first and foremost not what they have been but what they are capable of becoming.” Photo: Susanna Asklöf
