Skåne Party

Skåne Party

The Skåne Party ( _sv. Skånepartiet) is a right-wing, anti-immigration political party in the Swedish province of Skåne, established in 1979 in Malmö. The party leader, and founder, is Carl P Herslow.

The party had representation on the municipal council of Malmö from the election of 1985, when the Skåne Party helped to remove the Social Democratic Party from power in the city for the first time in 66 years, until 2006.

The original aims of the party were abolition of the Swedish state's monopoly of the radio and television market, and self-government for Skåne. Originally the party advocated full independence, as a republic, but later altered position to back devolution within the Swedish state. Lately however the party has again re-iterated a desire for full sovereignty. As the party has become more extreme its electorate has shrunk and it is today not represented in any council, gaining only 11 votes in the Swedish General Election 2006.

The party's website promotes the following list as its 12 key policies:
# Skåne to become a free republic, a member of the European Union and NATO
