Anders Klarström

Ralph Carl Anders Klarström, now Rådlund (born 17 December 1965 in Gothenburg ), is a retired politician and the first party chairman for the Sweden Democrats 1989–1995.

Klarström became politically active as a teenager, attending meetings of the Moderate Party and then the European Workers Party, the Swedish branch of the LaRouche movement. In 1984, before the founding of the Sweden Democrats, Klarström had been connected with and attended gatherings of the Nordic Realm Party, an old-school national socialist party, as a seventeen year old. In the same year, he was also found guilty of making anonymous antisemitic phone calls to entertainer Hagge Geigert and was fined. He later claimed to have distanced himself from the Nordic Realm Party.

Anders Klarström was a founding member of the Sweden Democrats and participated in writing the first party platform in 1989 and wrote most of the 1993 program ahead of the general election that year. In the very beginning the party did not have a formal leader but a system where two persons acted as joint spokespersons for the party. Klarström held the position from late in 1988 and later became the first "real" party leader. He retired from party leadership after the elections of 1994, amid disagreements about political and organisational strategy.
