Government and politics

Historically, Uppsala Municipality has been a centre both of conservatism and liberalism, both receiving their ideological nourishment from the university. Today, however, the city is divided between left and right and has since 1994 been governed by a coalition of the Social Democrats, the Left Party and the Green Party until the Template:Ill where the centre-right coalition Alliance for Sweden won not only the national elections but also the regional.
