  • Willi Reichhold responds to the claim that 20% of voters cannot be excluded from political cooperation.
  • He argues that voters open to supporting a party that works with the Sweden Democrats are as politically fixed as former communists.

A letter writer has challenged the idea that “one cannot exclude 20 percent of voters” from political cooperation.

Willi Reichhold argues that the phrase is a misleading political cliché coined by the Sweden Democrats. He directs his criticism at voters with liberal or conservative views who, after the past four years, could consider voting for a party that cooperates with the Sweden Democrats.

In Reichhold’s view, those voters are just as locked into their political convictions as former communists. The text appears as a response to an earlier letter in Dagens Nyheter.
