Summary

Description

The Swedish Party (1870–1906), a parliamentary elite party based on members in the Diet of Finland and is the historical predecessor of the Swedish People's Party of Finland. It was a part of the Svecoman movement. A pro-Swedish nationalist movement that arose in the Grand Duchy of Finland at the end of the 19th century chiefly as a reaction to the demands for increased use of Finnish vigorously presented by the Fennoman movement. Unlike Fennomans who were largely liberal on other matters than the language question, the Svecoman were conservative. However most members of the Liberal Party joined the Swedish Party in the 1880s, after the Liberals ceased to exist as a distinct party. The Swedish People's Party of Finland was founded in the 1906 party congress of the Swedish Party, making it one of the oldest parties in Finland.

During the 1907 Finnish parliamentary election the Swedish people’s party received 12.6% of the vote, which was approximately the percentage of Swedish speakers in the country at that time.
