Our Policies in english
Why the Liberals in Lund?
We are the liberal alternative working for a caring, smarter Lund.
In our Lund, it should pay to pursue an education, work hard, take responsibility, and start or run a business. At the same time, the welfare system should be there to support you when your own resources are not enough.
We put schools first, strengthen community organizations, and work to create safety, belonging, and freedom of choice throughout every stage of life. Because in Lund, your background should never determine your future.
Psst … We promise to cut fewer ribbons for a while! Instead, we want to invest more in maintaining what we already have for a few years ahead. Taking care of our existing schools, elderly care facilities, streets, parks, and public spaces is a better use of taxpayers’ money — and it makes Lund a cleaner, more attractive, and more pleasant place to live.
Schools First. Always.
You don’t choose where you start in life. But education gives you the freedom to choose where you go. Knowledge breaks down barriers, opens new opportunities, and makes social mobility possible.
- A maximum of 20 students per class, starting in the early grades.
- Extra support for children who are struggling, and greater challenges for those who are ready to go further.
- Mobile phone-free schools, and more real textbooks instead of screens.
- More special education teachers and dedicated support groups, so every student gets the right help at the right time.
- Smaller groups in preschool. Despite declining enrollment, preschool groups in Lund have grown larger — today, 73% are larger than the Swedish National Agency for Education’s recommended guidelines.
In Lund, You Should Be Able to Enjoy Life at Every Age
No one should become lonely simply because they grow older. Freedom also means having the opportunity to live an active, safe, and socially connected life throughout every stage of life.
- Better local bus routes that make it easier for older residents to travel to the city center.
- An Ombudsman for the Elderly to safeguard the rights of older residents and help them navigate everyday challenges.
- Free shingles vaccinations and a fitness voucher for everyone aged 70 and over.
- More housing options between living independently at home and moving into a residential care home.
- Dedicated care teams that provide continuity, security, and personal relationships in elderly care.
A Thriving Community Life
Community organizations build togetherness, break loneliness, and give more children and adults an active free time. It’s a force that holds Lund together and prevents problems before they grow larger.
- Explore introducing zero-fee access to municipal facilities and halls to reduce organizations’ administration and the shuffling of support funds back and forth.
- Provide administrative support so volunteer leaders can spend more time on activities and less on paperwork.
- Distribute access to sports facilities, grants, and municipal support more fairly between girls and boys.
- Recognize community organizations as an active pathway to employment by allowing participation in association activities, work experience, and networking to count toward activity requirements for job seekers.
