If you still haven’t realized that traditional Swedish media leans heavily to the left, it’s time to wake up.

One of the cornerstones of the Left Party’s program is a “comprehensive tax reform” that will tax capital and wealth much harder than today.

Yet on April 19, 2026, at their congress in Örebro, the party leadership actually proposed lowering their own party tax — the internal fee that MPs and full-time politicians pay to the party.

The mere fact that this proposal even made it to a vote is staggering.

The congress voted it down (122 to 92). The party tax remains unchanged.

Had it not been an election year, the outcome would almost certainly have been different. This time they clearly took the optics into consideration.

So while the Left Party demands higher taxes on savings, capital gains, and wealth for ordinary Swedes, they quietly tried to protect their own privileged internal tax.

Legacy media has barely mentioned the vote.This is hypocrisy at its finest.
