Editing June List (section)

=== Foundation ===
The party was formed in 2003 in the wake of the [[2003 Swedish euro referendum|Swedish euro referendum]] held in September, in which the adoption of the euro was rejected. The party was founded by [[Nils Lundgren]], former member of the [[Swedish Social Democratic Party]] and chief economist of the bank [[Nordea]], [[Lars Wohlin]], former member of the [[Christian Democrats (Sweden)|Christian Democrats]] and Jesper Katz.<ref name="svt2008">{{cite news |title=Ordföranden för junilistan avgår |url=https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/ordforanden-for-junilistan-avgar |access-date=18 November 2024 |work=Sveriges Television |agency=TT |date=2008-03-16}}</ref> 

Lundgren hoped to receive support from eurosceptical voters dissatisfied with their usual parties' positive attitudes towards the euro and further European integration. Among the Swedish parties represented in parliament at the time, only the [[Left Party (Sweden)|Left Party]], [[Center Party (Sweden)|Center Party]] and the [[Green Party (Sweden)|Green Party]] were eurosceptic, while the Social Democratic Party, the major left-wing party, and all right-wing parties with exception of the Center party were positive towards European integration. Aiming at receiving support from this broad political spectrum, the board of the party contained people that had been previously active in both left- and right-wing parties.<ref name=board>{{cite web | url = http://www.junilistan.se/?p=95;96;145 | title = Styrelseledamöter | publisher = Junilistan | accessdate = 2008-01-28 | language = Swedish | url-status = dead | archiveurl = https://archive.today/20070422172939/http://www.junilistan.se/?p=95;96;145 | archivedate = 2007-04-22 }} </ref><ref name="svt2005">{{cite news |title=Vänsterprofiler lämnar Junilistan |url=https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/vansterprofiler-lamnar-junilistan |access-date=18 November 2024 |work=Sveriges Television |date=2005-11-25}}</ref>

The party takes its name from the [[June Movement]] in [[Denmark]], which is a eurosceptic party named after the timing of the Danish [[referendum]] that rejected the [[Treaty of Maastricht]]. The June Movement was also a major source of inspiration for the June List.{{Citation needed|date=November 2024}}
