This chapter assesses the evolution of the Moderates, the key catch-all party on the mainstream right in Sweden, within the context of an embedded post-materialist political culture and an emboldened populist radical right party. More specifically, the chapter looks at how the Moderates have developed electorally, ideologically and strategically since the 1990s. The key argument is that the ‘silent counter-revolution’ has been quite challenging for the Moderates across different arenas (i.e., electoral, governing and internal arena) and that the party had major difficulties, at least initially, in adapting to a new political landscape.
