(The following text or part of it is quoted from the free Wikipedia:)

The Moderate Party (Swedish: Moderata samlingspartiet, M', literally "Moderate Coalition Party" or "Moderate Unity Party"; commonly referred to as Moderaterna: "Moderates") is a liberal-conservativepolitical party in Sweden. The party generally supports tax cuts, the free market, civil liberties and economic liberalism. Internationally, it is a full member of the International Democrat Union and European People's Party.

In Autumn 2019, they had a General Meeting where the legal prohibition of genital mutilation on boys was discussed. Several party members voted for protecting boys from harm. However, a majority of the party board says no, and emphasizes that circumcision is a relatively common and accepted intervention in much of the world. It should have "links to traditions with deeply religious motives for the Jewish population, for example," and would not conflict with the Children's Convention, writes the party board,[1] although the current party leader Ulf Kristersson supports the proposal.
