Doctrine — stated goals and content

Reinfeldt arbetslinjen ("work-line") supply-side rebrand of the Moderates as 'Nya Moderaterna' — a centre-right programme built around making work pay through the jordskattereduktion (jobskatteavdrag) earned-income tax credit, combined with abolition of capital-taxation icons of the Swedish model: inheritance and gift tax abolished January 2005 (legislated under Persson but consolidated under Reinfeldt), wealth tax (foermoegenhetsskatt) abolished January 2007, and property-tax (fastighetsskatt) replaced by a capped municipal fee in 2008. Corporate-tax rate cut from 28% to 26.3% (2009) then to 22% (2013). Economic school: supply-side centre-right social liberalism inside the Swedish model; retained near-universal services but sharpened work incentives. Left-right: centre-right. Popularity: re-elected 2010 (first Moderate re-election ever), lost 2014 to SAP-led bloc. Coherence: high — four-party Alliansen held tight through two full terms with shared programmatic platform.
