Christian Democrats and Sweden Democrats are in favour and, more importantly, the leaders of the two traditional leading parties - Social Democrats and Moderates - have expressed themselves at least not opposed to the idea

This Swedish nuclear engagement with France and the UK sounds very much like policy consultations, not a joint program -- which would destroy the Non-Proliferation Treaty, among other things. breakingdefense.com/2026/01/swed...
![“We are now holding ongoing discussions with both France and the United Kingdom. They are not very precise yet, and the French [nuclear weapons] are uniquely French, but France also shows openness to discussing with other countries.”
“We should not get ahead of events. These discussions are ongoing now, and as a NATO member, we are fully involved in everything. We have not seen any need to place it (nuclear weapons) in Sweden in peacetime, in the same way as one can have foreign forces in Sweden in peacetime.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bjjfwpjjph5zwq5dqf4qvryp/bafkreiazyx63oilnqgec7pe53yek6bl4ounkp23x665datrbq23dakutdu@jpeg)
