Tove Lifvendahl (born 14 February 1974 in Seoul, South Korea) is Swedish writer, speaker and political commentator affiliated with the Moderate Party.
Early life and education[edit]
Lifvendahl is an adoptee from South Korea.[1] She grew up in Hälsingland and graduated from Uppsala University.
Career[edit]
In 2000, Lifvendahl was elected national chair of the Moderate Youth League, the youth-wing of the Moderate Party.[2]
She was very successful in attracting media attention to the Moderate Youth League, but also led the failed campaign in 2002 which saw the Moderate share of first-time voters decrease from 30% to 13%. On the day of the election she called for older politicians to resign and make room for younger, more modern Moderates. This contributed to, among others, Per Unckel leaving front-line politics.
After Lifvendahl's resignation from MUF in 2002 she became the first Moderate Youth League chairman to be re-elected to the board of the party on her own mandate, a position she left in 2005. During the party congress of 2005 she opposed proposals for a more lenient view of trade unions.
Lifvendahl has contributed to many publications, among them her own book on former Moderate leader Gösta Bohman.
In 2013, she became Political Editor-in-chief of Svenska Dagbladet, a position she has held since.
