Abstract

Thereafter the ideological change within the Moderate party is covered. As a result of before mentioned paradigm change the Moderate party lost some of its conservative values in favor of more market liberal values. Lastly the Moderate party strategy following the election in 2002 is analyzed. This is understood from the view of the potential loser where the political agents attempt to adjust their ideological preferences to maximize voters and parliamentary influence. (Less)
