Folkhemmet i Hofors-Torsåker is a local political party in Hofors, Sweden. The party was formed ahead of the 2002 elections. Pär Åslund founded the party after having been expelled from the Green Party. It got 379 votes (6.3%) and two seats in the municipal council. The councillors of the party were Broor Sundin and Pär Åslund.
In their second election in 2006 they got 721 votes (12.01%) and became the second biggest party in the municipal council with four seat (as many as the Moderate Party, though the Moderates got only 11.43%) The first seat for Folkhemmet was once again claimed by Pär Åslund with 241 personal votes. The second seat for Folkhemmet was once again claimed by Broor Sundin, who got 47 personal votes, which was not enough to matter. The third seat is filled by Kent Olsson, and the fourth by Mikael Larsson.
The Social Democratic Party lost their majority in this election, but will remain in power as the parties of the Alliance for Sweden refuse to cooperate with Folkhemmet. The reason is some less well thought comments from the fifth name on Folkhemmet's list of council candidates, and the first reserve for Folkhemmet in the council, Anitha Näsström. Anitha Näsström, who is a shopowner, has had numerous problems with immigrants stealing her merchandise, and has in anger posted a sign in her shopwindow considering how well advised it is for the town to accept more foreign refugees when they cannot properly handle those who are already present.
