Carl Eos agreed with Jimmie Åkesson's reasoning in Expressen about the Sweden Democrats' role in cooperation with the center-right parties. Åkesson had written that the Sweden Democrats (SD) had been driving many reforms, but that the parties holding ministerial positions had received visibility when the reforms were implemented. He also pointed out that the cooperation had limited SD and asked why voters would choose the party over the Moderates if the center-right was perceived as good enough even on issues where SD had taken the lead. Eos wrote that the center-right parties had been able to showcase successes within SD's strong policy areas, while SD had not made corresponding advances in other areas. He argued that the parliamentary election in 2026 would largely be about issues where SD was weaker and, to a large extent, not about policy issues. Eos also noted that both Ulf Kristersson and Jimmie Åkesson had said that the time after Tidö had begun, and wrote that this would likely create discussion. https://t.co/JWjMHlH2Ri #Sverigedemokraterna #politiskdebatt #val2026 (translated)

DrTallinger wrote that the political deadlock surrounding refugee policy forced the Center Party to choose between approaching its political opponents or cooperating with the Sweden Democrats, with whom the party, according to the author, had politically in common in practice. The latter, according to the post, would cost the Center Party its reputation among political allies with high demands for political correctness. The author described the question of how many refugees Sweden could take in as peripheral and compared it to a company's decision on charity. According to DrTallinger, the main task of politics was to drive Sweden towards profitability and to safeguard the interests of citizens. The author also claimed that Sweden had been turned into one big refugee camp, at the expense of the purpose of politics. By comparison, DrTallinger wrote that Coca-Cola would not abandon profitability and donate all its money to Pepsi or small soda producers on the grounds that they also had a right to profit. The author concluded by asserting that the country's future depended on a few women, whom he described derogatorily and accused of having lost touch with why they started engaging in politics. https://t.co/DcZ3y69mPc #politik #Sverige #flyktingfrågan (translated)
