Daniel Helldén lists examples where he thinks the government and the Sweden Democrats have completely lost their way: labor immigration, the abolished track change, immigration of relatives, criminal record requirements for residence permits and 13-year-olds in prison.
Some things are so serious that they need to be changed, according to Helldén - even though MP's main focus is not to pursue a major tear-down policy.
You can't spend four years tearing everything down, because then that will be the only thing you do, he says.
Can S be moved?
The problem for MP is that the intended government partner is the Social Democrats, whose legal and migration policies are now very close to those of the Tidö parties. When asked if MP can really get S on board with these changes, Helldén replies:
It remains to be seen. But when it comes to teenage expulsions, their position has fluctuated. So S is not a monolith that cannot be moved, says Helldén.
After the election, we will, of course, have a discussion with the parties in government about what needs to be changed.
The government issue is increasingly irritating the opposition. After both Liberal leader Simona Mohamsson and Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M) gave the green light for the SD to sit in government with them, the Tidö parties take every opportunity to remind them that the red-greens do not have a united team.
The Left Party and the Center Party are completely on a collision course, and S has no major interest in bringing the team together. Increasingly, S points out that Sweden has often been governed by minority governments – read S governments.
MP advocates a majority government, where all parties that cooperate also sit in the government. People will vote no to any government they themselves are not part of, even if the Prime Minister is Magdalena Andersson (S).
Heavy red line
In principle, the party has only drawn a strong red line - there must be a clear plan for climate policy.
A fair climate transition is what we will pursue in government. If that doesn't happen, we can't be in government. That's completely obvious, says Helldén.
MP criticizes the Tidö parties for gasoline populism when focusing on lowering fuel prices.
Can you sit in a government that lowers fuel taxes?
We need a government that actually takes the climate issue seriously, and that also includes how to handle fuel taxes.
A government should not focus on making it more affordable to use fossil fuels, but instead support households when needed.
Can an environmentalist lower the price of gasoline?
There are much better ways to support households when we get into these types of cost shocks. We want to get out of fossil fuel dependence.
Could it be too late to backtrack on new nuclear power investments after the election, if agreements have already been concluded? Helldén has said he cannot sit in a government that builds new nuclear power.
We can't judge that. These are secret negotiations, so we don't know what will have happened before election day. It's a bit scary.
If S is thinking about ruling alone or in a minority:
I don't see it as an option. And I don't really think anyone else sees it as a particularly realistic option either.
What election result is MP aiming for?
We will achieve our best election result; we have set a target of 7.4 percent. (In 2010, MP received 7.34 percent in the parliamentary election.)
