Leader of the Moderate Youth League

From 1992 to 1995, Reinfeldt was the chairman of the Moderate Youth League. He ousted the former chairman, Ulf Kristersson at the controversial congress known as The Battle of Lycksele, gathering 58 of the delegates votes with Kristersson gathering 55 votes. Ulf Kristersson (born 1963 is a Swedish Moderate Party politician and one of the vice mayors in Stockholm. The Battle of Lycksele is the name given to the Congress of the Moderate Youth League, the youth of the Swedish Moderate Party, in 1992, [10] The 1992 congress was also the culmination of a long ideological battle within the Moderate Youth League. [2] Reinfeldt later stated that although the effects of that deep ideological division and battle in the party lingered on within the Moderate Youth League, he also felt that it was a defining moment in his life. Had he lost the battle he would most likely not be in politics today. [1][10] During the period 1995 to 1997, Reinfeldt was chairman of the Democrat Youth Community of Europe. The Democrat Youth Community of Europe ( DEMYC) is an Umbrella organisation of the Youth wings of conservative and christian democratic [11]

At the beginning of his term as leader of the Moderate Youth League, Reinfeldt supported the government of Prime Minister Bildt, but Reinfeldt gradually changed his views and became more critical of the party leadership. In 1993, he wrote the book "Det sovande folket" (The Sleeping Nation), in which he criticized the Swedish welfare state and argued for the introduction of a neoliberalist society. This article refers specifically to the Welfare state of the United Kingdom. Originally coined by its critics and opponents " neoliberalism " is a label referring to the recent reemergence of Economic liberalism or Classical liberalism Following the defeat of the Bildt government in the Swedish general election of 1994, Reinfeldt publicly criticized the Moderate Party leader, whom Reinfeldt believed had gotten too much dominance in the party.

In 1995, Reinfeldt co-authored the book "Nostalgitrippen" (The Nostalgic Trip), which described several persons in the Moderate Party leadership, including Gunnar Hökmark and Bo Lundgren, as "Carl Bildt-lookalikes". Gunnar Hökmark (born September 19, 1952) is a Swedish politician and Member of the European Parliament for the Moderate Party Bo Axel Magnus Lundgren (born July 11, 1947) is a Swedish politician Bildt was described as being the perfect leader for the opposition to satirize; a nobleman living in the affluent Östermalm with a boyish expression and a better-than-you attitude.

[1] As for the other high party officials, the book stated that: "If everyone appears similar to Carl it confirms peoples misconceptions about the Moderate Party. It becomes a party for Carl Bildt-copies. "[10]

This provoked swift reaction from the Moderate Party leadership, who believed that Reinfeldt's criticisms had gone too far. On February 14, 1995, Reinfeldt was called to a meeting of the Moderate Party's Riksdag group, which took place in the former second chamber (Swedish: andrakammarsalen) of the Swedish parliament building, a meeting where Bildt apparently scolded him for hours.

At that time, he was elected into a high party group, the förtroenderåd. [1] From 2001 to 2002, Reinfeldt was chairman of the justice committee of the Swedish parliament. The Riksdag is the official Swedish term of the Parliament of Sweden and the Parliament of Finland (in Finland alongside During this time, Reinfeldt traveled around the country gathering impressions and support at the local level of the Moderate Party.

Results of the general election to the Riksdag, the parliament of Sweden, held Sunday September 15, 2002. [4] After the 2002 election, Reinfeldt was elected as leader of the Moderate Party parliamentary group, spokesman for economic policy and vice chairman of the parliament's finance committee.

"The New Moderates"

Under Reinfeldt's leadership, the Moderate Party has adjusted its position in the political spectrum, moving towards the centre. This article refers to the Swedish political party for the group that dominated the Church of Scotland in the 18th century see Moderate Party (Scotland A political spectrum (plural Spectra) is a way of modeling different political positions by placing them upon one or more geometric axes To reflect these changes, the party's unofficial name was altered to the "The New Moderates" (Swedish: De Nya Moderaterna) in order to emphasize the break with the past. Swedish ( is a North Germanic language spoken by more than nine million people predominantly in Sweden and parts of Finland, especially along the [12] The Moderate Party also calls itself "Sweden's new workers' party" (Swedish: Sveriges nya arbetarparti) which sounds similar to the Swedish Social Democratic Party which calls itself "Sweden's Social Democratic Workers' Party" (Swedish: Sveriges socialdemokratiska arbetareparti).

The Moderate Party is starting to focus more on calls for tax cuts for low- and middle-income groups, rather than on major tax cuts more benefiting high-income earners. A tax cut is a reduction in taxes. Economic stimulus via tax cuts along with interest rate intervention and deficit spending are one of the central tenets of Keynesian economics Also, as leader of the Moderate Party, Reinfeldt has tended to be less forceful in his criticism of the Swedish welfare state than his predecessors. Swedish welfare refers to the Swedish variant of the Mixed economy Welfare state prevalent in much of the industrialized world Reinfeldt has instead proposed reforms to Sweden's welfare state, which include cutting taxes for the lowest income earners and reducing unemployment benefits, in order to encourage the jobless to return to work. [5] He has toned down calls within the party for dismantling large portions of the Swedish welfare state, stating that change must come gradually from the bottom up and not dictated from the top down. [4] Reinfeldt's goal is said to be to fine-tune the welfare state, by focusing on getting people off welfare benefits and in to employment. He has worked to shift the conservatives toward the middle ground by convincing voters that he would fix rather than dismantle the public welfare system. [5]

Reinfeldt has even extended an invitation to the Swedish Trade Union Confederation, a traditional supporter of the Social Democrats and opponents to the Moderate Party.

Labour law (also known as employment or labor law is the body of Laws administrative rulings and precedents which address the legal rights of and restrictions [14]

People both within and outside the party differ on their analysis of the transformation of the Moderate Party, with some arguing that the party is mainly honing the way it describes its visions, and others suggesting that it constitutes a substantial policy change towards the centre. [15][16][17] As a consequence of Reinfeldt's shift of the Moderate Party to the centre, the differences between the Moderate Party and their traditional opponents the Swedish Social Democratic Party have become harder to discern. [14] In a series of radio and television debates the opposing Social Democrat leader and incumbent Prime Minister Göran Persson portrayed his opponent as a classic conservative in disguise.

Controversies and public perception

Controversies

Smear campaigns

During the run-up for the 2006 Swedish general election, Reinfeldt was subjected to a smear campaign. A general election was held in Sweden on September 17, 2006, to elect members to the Swedish parliament. A smear campaign, smear tactic or simply smear is a Metaphor for activity that can harm an individual or group's reputation by conflation with Mats Lindström, a staff member in the Social Democratic Party headquarters, admitted to sending e-mails accusing Reinfeldt of tax fraud, false financial declarations and only attaining his position because of his father's influence. [34] The IP address used in the e-mails was traced to the Social Democratic Party headquarters, and party officials cooperated with Moderate Party officials and the Swedish parliament's security department in tracing the source. An Internet Protocol ( IP) address is a numerical identification ( Logical address) that is assigned to devices participating in a Computer network

Social Democratic Party Secretary Marita Ulvskog apologized and said that such behavior was completely unacceptable. Marita Ulvskog (born September 4, 1951) is a Swedish Social Democratic politician [35][36] Following the incident, Reinfeldt filed a complaint with the Swedish police,[37] however, the matter did not result in any police action. In general use a complaint is an expression of displeasure such as poor service at a store or from a Local government, etc The Swedish Police Service (in Swedish: Polisen) is a collection of Government agency concerned with Police matters in Sweden. [38]

A short time after the e-mail campaign, images of Reinfeldt as a wolf in sheep's clothing. The grey wolf or gray wolf ( Canis lupus) also known as the timber wolf or simply wolf, is a Mammal of the order Carnivora which depicted Reinfeldt and the Moderate Party in an unflattering light were spread internally within the Social Democratic Party and subsequently leaked to the media. The Swedish Social Democratic Party, (Sveriges socialdemokratiska arbetareparti 'Social Democratic Workers' Party of Sweden' contests elections as 'Workers' Party - Social Democrats' [39] Social Democratic Party spokeswoman Carina Persson confirmed that the material came from the Social Democratic Youth League, but denied the existence of an official smear campaign and stated that the material was not meant to be released or spread to a wider audience. [40][41]

Economical conduct

During the week of the general election, Sveriges Television broadcast a program which closely examined the leaders of the two largest political parties in Sweden. Sveriges Television AB ( SVT,) is a national Television broadcaster based in Sweden, funded by an obligatory fee payable by all Television -owners The program exposed that Reinfeldt and his wife, Filippa, had used the services of several au pairs and foreign nannies, paying them less than what a Swedish employee would earn, but within the salary recommendations for an au pair. Filippa Desiree Amanda Cay Reinfeldt ( Née Holmberg, born June 14, 1967 in Stockholm) is a Swedish Moderate Party An au pair (plural au pairs) is a foreign-national domestic assistant working for and living as part of a host Family. A salary is a form of periodic payment from an Employer to an Employee, which may be specified in an Employment contract. [42]

The conduct of the cabinet

Shortly after the new cabinet of Fredrik Reinfeldt assumed power, it was shaken by scandals regarding the former activities of several of the new ministers. The cabinet of Fredrik Reinfeldt is the current Cabinet of Sweden. Within 14 days, two of the new ministers had resigned and another was facing criminal charges in the Minister affair at the announcement of the Reinfeldt cabinet. The minister affair at the announcement of the Reinfeldt cabinet in Sweden is a Political scandal which started on October 7, 2006 when the

Public perception

Reinfeldt has been called a "Swedish David Cameron", insofar as he succeeded to shift the moderates from a right position to a center position in politics. David William Donald Cameron (born 9 October 1966 is a British Politician and the current leader of the Conservative Party and Leader of Her Majesty's Moderates for Piedmont ( Moderati per il Piemonte) is a regional centrist Italian political party active in Piedmont. On the other hand he is thought to have influenced Cameron, since the Swedish prime minister was elected party leader in 2003 -- two years before Cameron took control of the British Conservative Party in 2005. He has also been likened to former President Bill Clinton, while his wife has been likened to the former First Lady, Senator Hillary Clinton.

Reinfeldt's parents, Bruno and Birgitta, were both entrepreneurs -- his father ran a training company and his mother worked in recruitment. An entrepreneur is a person who has possession over a company enterprise, or Venture, and assumes significant accountability for the inherent risks and the outcome Reinfeldt has said his parents' experience of the difficulties in business life, in particular the "pretty aggressive attitude towards entrepreneurship" was one of several key factors which influenced his political activities. Entrepreneurship is the practice of starting new Organizations or revitalizing mature Organizations particularly new Businesses generally in response to identified [5]

In a study by SIFO, a Swedish polling institute, Reinfeldt was the "most admired man in Sweden" in 2006. Sifo Research International is the leading Swedish Company in the area of opinion and Social research. [46] Aside from the personal evaluations, the popularity of Reinfeldt's cabinet was in clear decline since the general elections in 2006[47], from 51% to about 40% in the late 2007, a number that has since stabilized with some minor ups and downs. Similarly Fredrik Reinfeldt's share with Göran Hägglund to be one of only two party leaders whose voter confidence have deteriorated in any significant degree since September 2007[48]. Bo Göran Hägglund (born January 27, 1959, Degerfors, Värmland) is a Swedish politician and the current leader of the

Persona

Reinfeldt has been perceived as a very controlled and harmonious person, and his apparent lack of public displays of emotion stands in contrast to his predecessor, Bo Lundgren, who on several occasions displayed fits of rage. [2] The prime minister has been described as "gentle, pensive and a good listener" and his "cool, soft-spoken approach" is said to go down well with Swedish voters. [4] Aware of this perception, Reinfeldt has said "I am by nature confident and calm. But that does not mean I am not passionate and do not feel strongly about things". [5] Regarding his family life, Reinfeldt has cultivated the image of a good family man who enjoys housework. [4][5]
