Mohamsson: 'It's over for Moderates if Liberals don't enter parliament'

Liberalerna, a Swedish political party, is campaigning to limit school class sizes to a maximum of 20 students in the next parliamentary term. Party leader Simona Mohamsson stated that the party's entry into parliament is crucial for the Moderates, warning that without the Liberals, the right-wing bloc faces significant challenges.

“

It is over for the Moderates if the Liberalerna do not get in.

Mohamsson expressed concern about the possibility of Sweden electing a left-leaning government after the September 13 election. She noted that current polls show the Liberalerna at 1.9%, below the typical 3.5% threshold needed to secure parliamentary representation, though she believes the party is capable of a strong finish.

“

These opinion polls are snapshots. I know that the Liberalerna are good at sprinting.

If the Liberalerna do not make it into parliament, Mohamsson believes it would effectively end the possibility of a right-wing government for a considerable time, leading to a prolonged period of Social Democratic and socialist rule. She emphasized that the Liberalerna's presence is essential for any "blue-yellow" (right-wing) cooperation and for Ulf Kristersson to remain prime minister.

“

Without us, there will not be a blue-yellow cooperation. Without us, Ulf Kristersson is not prime minister.

The party's platform includes 99 points focused on education and the economy. A key proposal is phasing out profit-driven companies from the school system, with a preference for foundation-based models offering full transparency. The Liberalerna also propose a 5,000 kronor monthly increase for families with children, funded partly by tax cuts and expanded service deductions for childcare and cleaning.

“

It is also over for our side of politics to be able to hold government power both in the coming term and for a very, very long time to come. We will see a Social Democratic and socialist rule for the foreseeable future. That worries me.
