The Green Party stomps around four percent in opinion polls.
During the party's digital congress, a program for social justice has now been adopted, which it is hoped will receive the support of voters.
The most comprehensive item is that capital taxation must be changed to bring in more money for welfare and climate change.
New capital taxation
MP wants to replace today's capital taxes with a box model.
Capital assets and liabilities are placed in a “box” and then the combined value of the box is taxed - instead of the profit being taxed on, for example, a sale.
-It should be a taxation that is standard-based, much like it is with ISK (investment savings accounts) today.
The higher the capital you have, the more you also have to pay - a progressive model that we have with income today, says spokesman Per Bolund.
The box model did not go through without resistance.
Gabriella Rehbinder, who sits on the MP's board in Stockholm, wanted the congress to say no.
-It would make it profitable to increase its indebtedness, she says.
No property tax
There will be no reintroduced property tax, which some environmentalists have warned about, because the party makes a difference between, for example, income from capital from the stock exchange and real estate, says Bolund.
The MP will now also push for the reintroduction of a higher tax for those with the highest incomes and for the housing tax to be changed so that condominiums are not rewarded over tenancies.
The party board also proposed an increased tax on holiday homes, but at this point it was overruled by Congress.
Support for strengthened safety nets
The Green Party wants to build what is called the new, green people's home and greatly strengthen the state's safety net.
The benefit levels in the welfare systems will be raised, among other things in the form of strengthened unemployment insurance, health insurance and income support.
The MP wants to merge these into a unified security system, which won support at the congress.
During the second day of the congress, it was also decided that the MP should work to completely abolish the qualifying period deduction in health insurance, which was partially abolished during the pandemic.
