In a post on social media, Åkesson writes that he wants to make it clear "once and for all" that he considers the party a political opponent and that "the Sweden Democrats do not vote in support of the Liberals."
The Liberals have been doing very poorly in opinion polls throughout this term, and at some point there is a cut-off date for when you stop hoping for them, Åkesson explains on SVT.
L far below the threshold
If L does not reach 3.5 percent in the opinion polls with ten days left until the election, he sees the votes on election day as wasted.
Then all blue-yellow voters should vote for one of the other parties in this bloc.
The opposition has a strong lead over the Tidö parties, and L has received 1.9 percent in two recent polls.
I have not spoken to Ulf Kristersson about this, but it is an analysis we have done based on what we have seen is reasonable, says Åkesson.
As recently as last week, he said that it is not the Sweden Democrats' responsibility to save the Liberals.
"Been a brake pad"
Åkesson describes the Liberals as having often been a "brake" on the collaboration during the mandate period and says that he considers L a political opponent in an ideological sense.
The Tidö parties are far behind in public opinion and things are looking particularly bad for the Liberals, who are at risk of leaving parliament.
TT has contacted Liberal Party leader Simona Mohamsson.
