[11][12] The party describes itself as liberal feminist,[13] campaigning for policies which enhance gender equality on an individualist basis.

Its environmental policies stress the importance of consent and voluntary action,[14] including working with foresters and private landowners to promote biodiversity within a mutually agreeable framework.

In 1922, it merged with the National Farmers' Union [sv] (Swedish: Jordbrukarnas Riksförbund [ˈjûːɖˌbrʉːkaɳas ˈrɪ̂ksfœrˌbɵnd] ⓘ, JR), and adopted its current name in 1957.

However, it later revised this strategy in order to establish a closer long-term alliance between the centre-right borgerlig ("bourgeois" or "nonsocialist") parties that achieved power between 1976 and 1982 and between 1991 and 1994.

[33] The party advocates lower taxes, greatly reduced employer contributions, a freer market and an increased RUT-deduction [sv].

[34] It also favours investments in infrastructure and transportation, to allow employees to work in bigger cities but still live in the rural areas and vice versa.

In January 2016, the party for example proposed to give all immigrants compulsory civic education in both rights and expectations from the society.

[39] In the European Committee of the Regions, the Centre Party sits with the Renew Europe CoR group with one full and one alternate member for the 2020-2025 mandate.

Since the takeover of Maud Olofsson in recent years, the party has been attracting liberal voters from urban areas in central Sweden.
