- Abstract
- In the process of developing the modern and democratic society that the people of Sweden can enjoy today the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the United Nations (UN) in 1948 has been a cornerstone.

This is an essay to explore the party’s politics and compare it to two of the most essential rights of today – freedom of speech and religion. I have analyzed the politics in it self and studied into the human rights, and to both restrictions and responsibility that they may bring to the party as well as yothe current government. (Less)
