Most of the chairmen of the liberal unions in question do not want members to vote to determine the party’s political options. But even that issue divides the party. Almost the same amount wants members to decide, according to a poll by the party newspaper NU.

The threat of party leader Nyamko Sabuni to break the January agreement and the will to go to by-elections has given life to division within liberals over which government to support and which parties to cooperate with (read SD).
The issue has been simmering since two years ago a clear majority in the Liberal Party Council ran over the minority who wanted to see Ulf Kristersson as prime minister. The fact that the party elected a party leader from the minority line has not paved the way.
Nyamko Sabuni has indicated that the members can decide the matter. Others have openly suggested this as a way out of the split, including former MP Mathias Sundin from Östergötland.
Therefore, the newspaper Nu asked the presidents of the unions and associations of the party. 49.1 percent answered that they were against, while 47.4 percent were in favor and 3.5 percent did not want to answer.
The same question was also asked in an open poll in two discussion groups close to the party on Facebook. There, 56.6 percent were against it, while 42.4 percent would let the members decide the path chosen by the party on the issue of government.
Membership votes are not decisive in Liberals, but it is the elected representatives of the party council or the national assembly who decide. But a vote of the members with a clear result, of course, would be difficult to ignore.
Of the 323 respondents to the survey, 175 (54 percent) responded.
