Election Debate in London Sunday 23/8 2026🇾đŸ‡Ș

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us at the Swedish Church in London, and to all eight parties and politicians who took part.

It was a full house and an afternoon filled with important discussions ahead of the 2026 Swedish general election.

The event began with SWEA London sharing important information about how to vote from the UK. Voting in the UK is available from today, 24 August, until 9 September.
Please see our previous post for information on where and how you can voteđŸ—łïž

Participating politicians:
‱ Sweden Democrats – Mattias Karlsson, Member of Parliament
‱ Christian Democrats – Alice Teodorescu MĂ„we, Member of the European Parliament
‱ Moderate Party – Tomas TobĂ©, Member of the European Parliament
‱ Liberals – Fredrik Malm, Member of Parliament
‱ Centre Party – Rasmus Elfström, Förbundsordförande Centerstudenter
‱ Green Party – Jacob Risberg, Member of Parliament
‱ Social Democrats – Paula Carvalho, International Secretary
‱ Left Party – Vasiliki Tsouplaki, Member of Parliament

The debate began with a moment of silence for the victims of the incident at Brinellskolan in Fagersta, before moving on to some of the key issues affecting Swedes abroad, including voting rights and citizenship, public services, security and crime, migration and integration, as well as climate and energy.

Gul triangel med lila cirkel (intersex-symbolen): Designad av Valentino Vecchietti och tillagd 2021 för att inkludera och synliggöra intersexpersoner.
