Thierry Mortier says that couch potatoes and others who lack confidence in the party-political alternatives have no democratic representation and therefore cannot influence politics, writes Svenska Dagbladet.

You cannot say no and at the same time maintain your democratic representation, says Thierry Mortier, who moved from Belgium to Sweden in 2018.

The new party will change that by always voting no and thus becoming a voice for blank voters and couch potatoes.
