The Swedish People's Party of Hverland (Swedish: Svenska folkpartiet i hverøyken; SFH), shortened to Swedish People's, is a liberal political party aiming to represent the interests of the minority Swedish-speaking population. The party's main election issue has been the rights of Swedish-speaking people to their own language and to maintain the position of the Swedish language as an official language in Hverland. Ideologically, it is socially and fiscally liberal, although it is skeptical of immigration and multiculturalism.
