Left Party(Redirected from Vänsterpartiet)
The Left Party (Vänsterpartiet, often abbreviated as (v)) is a political party in Sweden. The Left Party, formerly the Communist Left Party (Vänsterpartiet kommunisterna or (vpk)), is today a party which expresses some of the traditional values of the social democrats but with a more radical view. In welfare issues they oppose privatization, they are more focused on the environment than other leftists, they oppose Swedish membership of the European Union and are a proponent of feminist and egalitarian politics. Their voter base consists mainly of the younger generation, public sector employees, journalists, and former social democrats. The Left Party is a member of the Nordic Green Left Alliance.
Factional tension and controversy following the election of Communist Lars Ohly as party leader in early 2004, prompted a small local branch in Gnesta Municipality on March 28 to leave the organization and form a new party, Vänsterdemokraterna.
