Justice List (in Swedish: Rättviselistan) was an alliance formed in Sweden in June 1995, ahead of the European Parliament elections. The main constituents were two trotskyist parties, the Socialist Party (SP) and Workers League Offensive (AFO). Also the Democratic Welfare Party in Helsingborg participated as well as individual social democrats and trade unionists.
The list got 14,904 votes (0.56% of the votes). The electoral districts in which the list got most votes by percentage were Malmöhus län norra 2.7% (2039 votes) and Västerbottens län 1.3% (1180 votes). The municipalities in which the list got the highest number of votes were Helsingborg 5.3% (1733 votes) and Stockholm 0.6% (1478 votes).
Although the cooperation between SP and AFO might have been intended to last, the alliance was soon broken after the elections. SP accused AFO of economic mismanagement of joint funds.
Famous quotes containing the words justice and/or list:
“You are all alike, you respectable people. You can’t tell me the bursting strain of a ten-inch gun, which is a very simple matter; but you all think you can tell me the bursting strain of a man under temptation. You daren’t handle high explosives; but you’re all ready to handle honesty and truth and justice and the whole duty of man, and kill one another at that game. What a country! What a world!”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Lastly, his tomb
Shall list and founder in the troughs of grass
And none shall speak his name.”
—Karl Shapiro (b. 1913)
