The following quote is taken from the English information section of the party's official website:

We in Liberala partiet (Classical liberal party) are classically minded liberals. We believe in a society where individuals are given power over their own lives. A society that gives priority to the individual, where duty cannot be imposed, and individuals cannot be made victims of a forced collective. Free and sovereign individuals are free to shape their own relationships and associations with other free and sovereign individuals.

Liberala partiet has participated in three general elections for the Swedish Riksdag. Their best result was in the 2014 elections when the party got 1210 votes or 0.02%.

Liberala partiet has participated in one election for the European Parliament. The party participated for the elections for the first time in 2014 even though it was eligible to participate in the previous election in 2009.
