This study aims to examine the liberal conservative ideology of the Swedish party Moderaterna and the disagreements within the party regarding profit driven free schools. Robert Wenglén is a local politician for Moderaterna who has got attention for his deviant opinion in relation to the party line. Wenglén argues that the current Swedish free school system is not in line with the school policy that Moderaterna should advocate considering their liberal conservative ideology. The research question is: How can we understand the policy of Moderaterna on profit driven free schools in light of their liberal conservative ideology? The method builds upon the liberal conservative dimensions by Jan Hylén and uses material as news articles, debate articles and interviews with politicians. The analysis leads to a conclusion that shows that the different sides refer to the same concepts but interpret these concepts differently, and as a result their policies differ. The current policy of Moderaterna matches the negative freedom of neoliberalism in multiple aspects. A consequence is a restricted concept of freedom, and to reconcile such a policy to the collectivist ideas of conservatism inevitably leads to ideological contradictions. (Less)
