Editing Moderate Party (section)

=== National Organization of the Right (1938–1952) ===
The party participated in the [[Hansson III Cabinet|third cabinet of Per Albin Hansson]] during the Second World War. It was a [[grand coalition]] including all major parties, only excluding the [[Left Party (Sweden)|Communist Party]] and the pro-Nazi [[Socialist Party (Sweden, 1929)|Socialist Party]], both parties being members of the parliament at this time.

In 1934, the Social Democrats formed a new government, and except for the [[World War II]] era, would stay in power until 1976. From having been a ruling party, the General Electoral League turned into a bastion of right-wing opposition, and in 1938 it was renamed the '''National Organization of the Right''' ({{langx|sv|Högerns riksorganisation|links=no}} {{IPA|sv|ˈhøːɡɛɳʂ ˈrɪ̂ksɔrɡanɪsaˌɧuːn||Sv-Högerns riksorganisation.ogg}}), a name that would stay until 1952. Outside Sweden, the party was typically called the ''Conservative Party''.

After the Second World War, the party gradually lost support and the [[Liberals (Sweden)|Liberals]] rose to become the second most popular party after the Social Democrats.
