Conservative Party (Sweden)

The Conservative Party (Swedish: Konservativa Partiet) previously known as the Homeland Party (Swedish: Hembygdspartiet, HbP), was a Swedish political party founded in April 1995 as a breakaway from the Sweden Democrats. The founders were Leif Zeilon, who broke with the Sweden Democrats in connection with the election of Mikael Jansson as party leader, and Leif Larsson, who had previously been the leader of the Nordic Realm Party's "national action group" and the Association of Sweden's Future.

In 1997, the name was changed to the Conservative Party, because there was already a party called the Homeland Party. In 1998, the party drew attention when it started an electoral collaboration with New Democracy under the leadership of John Bouvin, which contributed to Bouvin being removed from the post as party leader. The Conservative Party had between 200 and 300 members, received 163 votes (0.36%) in the municipal election in Huddinge municipality in 1998 and was dissolved the following year.
