Folklistan
Folklistan (lit. 'The People's List') was a Swedish electoral alliance between individual candidates running in the 2024 European Parliament elections. Folklistan was launched by Jan Emanuel, a former Social Democratic Party MP, and Sara Skyttedal, an MEP previously with the Christian Democrats in April 2024. They are also the group's main candidates for the European Parliament elections 2024.
Sara Skyttedal was elected Member of the European Parliament in 2019 for the Christian Democrats, who are grouped with the European People's Party. She left the party in February 2024, but remained in parliament as an independent. In early April 2024, it was noticed that she had registered a new party called Folklistan, and it was later launched in Henrik Jönsson's program on YouTube. On June 27, Jan Emanuel announced that the party would be dissolved due to the poor result in the 2024 European Parliament elections.
Jan Emanuel has long stated that his relationship with the Social Democrats had become cold. He revealed in 2021 that he no longer votes for them, as according to him, the party has abandoned classical social democracy and abandoned the workers, and that "they're no longer the party that I joined". He also stated that he's in internal opposition within the party and that he's a "conservative leftist" and doesn't have a party which represents him.
As of April 2024[update], four municipal politicians have left their parties to join Folklistan, with one Christian Democrat in Åtvidaberg, and three Swedish Democrats in Alingsås announcing their intent to join Folklistan.
Folklistan have set "Top 10 Priorities", with the ten priorities being:
