The Centre Party is a LibRight-leaning, Culturally Left, Environmentalist, Feminist and Liberal party in Sweden.
The party was originally a Farmers' Party and focused a lot on the rural population. However, in recent times the party has started focusing more on young, urban women with a heavy emphasis on Feminist politics.
Despite its name and self-image it's hard to call the party a Centrist party. It has many, comparably, radical ideas and non-centrist positions, but when put together they average out. It can therefore be considered a Radical centrist party.
One of its core tenets is that of the free market. It is, arguably, the party with the biggest focus on the free market out of the main parties in Sweden. The strive for a free market can also be linked to the party's big love for "freedom".
It is generally pretty progressive. It supports policies such as Abortion, Feminism, Free love, Open borders and An expansion of rights. Their Youth organization is especially focused on the expansion of rights with some pretty Suspicious opinions.
The party has been criticized for using manipulative tactics to gain power. The abandonment of their core values for political power is something that the party has been accused of.
