The moderates, the Christian Democrats and the Swedish Democrats have scolded the government and its cooperation for January from day one. Politics has no direction when two liberal parties have to deal with a green and a red, they often point out.
Examples have been easy for them: most recently, the division on labor law.
Ulf Kristersson of the moderates and Ebba Busch of the Christian Democrats often gives the impression that, on the other hand, they have a ready-made alternative of government that will not go in different directions.
“The idea would never occur to me of running a government the way Stefan Löfven runs it, of actively doing things that I myself think are really wrong, purely bad policies,” said for example Ulf Kristersson in the Ekot interview. Saturday, September 12.
But for Kristersson to become prime minister, it is not enough to agree with the Christian Democrats. Budgetary cooperation with the Swedish Democrats is required, unless there are revolutionary changes in the opinion of the voters.
In recent days, the opposition parties have presented their parallel budgets. They surprised. Since SD entered the Riksdag, the main direction has been that M, KD and SD have grown closer to each other. But this year, the Swedish Democrats put forward a radical proposal that goes in the opposite direction.
The party wants to beat the Swedish record in new contributions next year and distribute 10,000 crowns to every Swedish citizen for five years (and 5,000 to children under the age of five). “Centrally managed household support” is what SD leader Jimmie Åkesson calls the proposal, which costs 92 billion SEK gross.

The basic principle in the economic policy of the moderates is and has been that it should pay better to work and it should be more difficult to live on the benefits.
But SD wants to give all citizens ten thousand crowns, regardless of whether they are in jail or self-employed.
“It’s just bad policy,” Ulf Kristersson said of the proposal.
As an onion in the salmon for M, SD also wants the state to borrow up to SEK 150 billion for reforms next year. It also goes directly against the opinion of the moderates, the party has harshly criticized the government because it wants to borrow 105,000 million Swedish crowns.
Moderates have often previously spoken about the relationship with SD in terms of “receiving support from.” Of course, the bracket has a price tag. If M and KD do not want to share ministerial posts with SD, they, like the Löfven government, need to give the party something more. Åkesson will not give up the party’s votes for free, then he would disappoint his voters.
