Ränta på ränta criticized Elisabeth's statements and wrote that they demonstrated a lack of knowledge about the historical roots of the Centre Party. The writer claimed that the Left Party was communist, but that the Green Party did not resemble the Centre Party in business policy just because the party could support reduced employer contributions for a vegetarian café in the city center. According to Ränta på ränta, the Green Party was, to a large extent in economic policy outside the service sector, the least decentralist party and opposed to empowerment and self-determination. The writer also argued that the Green Party, in matters of rural entrepreneurship, was more communist and planned economy-oriented than the VPK. Ränta på ränta stated that it was not surprising that the Centre Party was on the brink of collapse in rural areas if the party seriously shared Elisabeth's view. The writer believed that she did not seem to understand fundamental issues regarding land, forests, mines, and industry, and wrote that this should concern Centre Party representatives outside the circles that the writer described as the upper-class women's clubs. #politik #Centerpartiet #Miljöpartiet (translated)
