Busch is on an election tour with the "Busch bus" all weekend and feels the wind is blowing.
"I feel like things are happening. The pot is boiling now," she says.
KD is ahead in the opinion polls compared with its 2022 election result, and voters' confidence in Ebba Busch is increasing.
Just before the summer, Busch thought the Tidö parties were too discouraged by the state of public opinion. She believed in a comeback for "the blue-yellow side".
I said I am prepared to shoulder that comeback myself if necessary, says Busch.
That's what we're trying to deliver now.
More heart
Busch believes that maintaining order in migration and criminal policy, while investing more in welfare issues and a different type of leadership, is a recipe for success.
A little more mature, a little more collaborative and more of Sweden's best than party tactics, she says.
Busch believes that KD's line "a right with a heart" is the hope for the Tidö parties in the future.
Yes, I think so. Proposals are needed that really make Sweden warmer and friendlier, but also stronger.
One of KD's most important election issues is to make life easier for families, including financially.
Busch says that in a possible Tidö government after the election, she will fight to increase the child benefit to 2,000 kronor a month and reduce the number of children in preschool.
These are just two of many election promises made by KD. The party's promises will compete with the election promises of the other Tidö parties if they win the election.
Questioning Svantesson's message
Finance Minister Elisabeth Svantesson (M)'s message is that the next government's coffers for new reforms are small. The Moderates believe that all parties should show how their election promises will be financed.
They don't do that themselves either, so I'm not worried about it, says Busch.
Svantesson estimates that the scope for reform for the entire next term is 50 billion. That figure is not a given, Busch points out.
It is based on a number of assumptions that are subject to change.
Busch points out that the Swedish economy can grow faster than the Minister of Finance's forecasts.
She also sees nothing wrong with borrowing money for important investments that can also increase growth.
I do not rule out that we will have to flex more of our economic muscle if necessary.
No S-support wheel
Busch does not think the Minister of Finance needs to worry about KD's election promises.
We have always taken responsibility for making sure the economy runs smoothly, so you don't need to worry about that.
There has been speculation about whether KD could cooperate with a possible S-led government after the election. Busch and S leader Magdalena Andersson have already reached out to each other on various issues.
Busch clarifies that KD can agree with S on individual issues, but that any organised collaboration, such as budget cooperation, is not an option.
KD will not be a Social Democratic support wheel.
When asked if Busch could under any circumstances say yes to Andersson as prime minister, she replies:
War, crisis and exceptional situation. Then I am prepared to take responsibility for Sweden.
