Citizens' Coalition (Swedish: Medborgerlig Samling, MED), officially known as Bourgeois Future (Swedish: Borgerlig Framtid, BF)[8] until 2017, is a right-wing[9][10] political party in Sweden that was founded in 2014. The party considers itself liberal-conservative and green conservative,[11][12] while observers described it as a right-wing party critical of immigration[13] and conservative.[14]

Citizens' Coalition received 0,18 % of the vote in the 2022 Swedish general election, making it the third largest party with no seats in the Riksdag, behind the Nuance Party and Alternative for Sweden.[15] The party received 0.15% of the votes in the EU parliament election 2019.[16] As of the 2018 Swedish municipal elections, the party holds four seats in municipal assemblies; two in Laholm[17] and one each in Höör,[18] and Torsås.[19][20]
