The live party leadership debate began with household finances.
Before the election, all parties promised more money in households' wallets, but the opposition accused the government of pursuing unfair economic policies.
Ulf Kristersson and Jimmie Åkesson have lowered their taxes by 6,000 kronor, said S leader Magdalena Andersson.
Prime Minister and Moderate Party leader Kristersson was irritated that Andersson "always talks about how much the tax cuts give the party leaders."
The S leader also pointed out that the Liberals' election promise to halve state income tax would give Kristersson a tax cut of 15,000 kronor.
"It's incredible hypocrisy on that side," said Kristersson.
He claimed that Andersson boosts his finances by 50,000 kronor a month by taking low-tax stock dividends instead of salary from his husband's company.
"That's nonsense," Andersson replied.
Got better?
The government and the opposition also disagreed on whether households have been better off in recent years.
Those who have fared much better are those with a lot of money in their wallets, said MP spokesperson Amanda Lindh.
SD leader Jimmie Åkesson pointed out that the government has lowered food VAT, electricity tax, and income tax on work and pensions.
"It's having an effect now. If we can just continue for at least another four years, the development will continue in the right direction," he said.
V leader Nooshi Dadgostar claimed that it has become 10,000 kronor more expensive per month for an ordinary family with children.
She promised higher salaries for female-dominated professions in the public sector, free dental care, higher child support and frozen rents.
"We will make sure to fill the wallets of ordinary people, not ministers," said the V leader.
Crack in the opposition
V also wants to introduce a tax for billionaires, which prompted C leader Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist to react. She wondered if it wasn't good for successful entrepreneurs to stay in Sweden and invest here.
"You want to scare them away from Sweden," said the C leader.
She also claimed that the V policy would lower Sweden's growth by 0.3 to 1 percent.
The exchange between the two opposition parties made the government-side party leaders enjoy themselves.
"This is the best election message to the voters. Keep going, we're watching," said KD leader Ebba Busch.
Liberal leader Mohamsson thought that the Center Party should return to the bourgeois side.
We will never sit in a government that does not reduce emissions, said Thand Ringqvist.
Nor in a government that builds distrust between people.
