Ideology

The following quote is taken from the English information section of the party's official website:

{{quote|We in Liberala partiet (Classical liberal party) are classically minded liberals. We believe in a society where individuals are given power over their own lives. A society that gives priority to the individual, where duty cannot be imposed, and individuals cannot be made victims of a forced collective. Free and sovereign individuals are free to shape their own relationships and associations with other free and sovereign individuals.{{cite web|url=http://www.liberalapartiet.se/information-in-english|title=Information in english|work=liberalapartiet.se|publisher=Liberala partiet|accessdate=21 June 2012}}}}
