What is a Political Party?
A political party is like a team that wants to help run a country. Each party has its own ideas about important things. These ideas might be about schools, hospitals, or how to protect the environment. People who agree with these ideas can join the party.
How Parties Work
Parties try to get their members elected to different government jobs. For example, they might want their members to become part of the Swedish Parliament. When elected, these members work to make laws and decisions based on the party's ideas.
Why Parties are Important
Political parties help people have a voice in how their country is governed. They offer different choices to voters during elections. This helps make sure many different ideas are heard and considered.
The National Democrats' History
The National Democrats were formed in October 2001. They were a new group that wanted to share their ideas in Swedish politics. They were considered a "minor" party because they did not have many members or win many votes in elections.
When the Party Ended
After being active for several years, the National Democrats stopped existing in 2014. When a party is "disestablished" or "defunct," it means it no longer operates or takes part in elections.
