Carl Cederschiöld
Encyclopedia
Carl Cederschiöld is a Swedish
former Moderate Party
politician.
He was an active member of the Confederation of Swedish Conservative and Liberal Students and was chairman between 1972 and 1973. He was elected to Stockholm City Council in 1976. With the Moderate election victory in 1991, Cederschiöld became Mayor
and Commissioner of Finance. The Moderate Party, however, lost the election in 1994 and Cederschiöld returned to leading the opposition.
The 1998 election saw the return of the Moderate Party to power in Stockholm
and Cederschiöld to the post of Mayor. The new Moderate Party administration launched a wide-reaching reform programme with cuts in both taxes and welfare benefits. The 2002 election, however, was catastrophic for the Moderate Party on the national level and that also swept the Social Democrats into power in Stockholm. After the election he retired from politics. He was replaced as leader of the Moderates in Stockholm by Kristina Axén Olin
