We will not be satisfied until Sweden becomes the best country to start and run a business in, says party leader Anna-Karin Hatt at a press conference. On the list of "rule confusion" are, among other things, proposals to allow serving permits outside on the street, introducing free rent setting at new production and abolished tax for private solar power use. Hatt highlights the introduction of a cap for sick leave costs as one of the most important measures. The point is, actually, the whole.
