His government alternative with SD, KD and L is between 5 and 10 percentage points behind the Red-Greens in the opinion polls.
But Kristersson questions whether one can even speak of a majority on the Red-Green side.
V demands to be part of an S-led government. MP can imagine forming a government with S and V. C has S leader Magdalena Andersson as its candidate for prime minister, but cannot imagine supporting a government that includes V.
And S ducks all options, as if they can do anything with anyone, says Kristersson.
“Extremely difficult”
If the Red-Greens become larger than the Tidö parties, a complicated government formation awaits, he believes.
It will be extremely difficult, almost impossible, says Kristersson.
He thinks that the Tidö parties have shown that they stand for stability and order and budgets that pass through the Riksdag.
He expects that more and more voters will ask themselves whether they really want to change government as the election approaches.
–A lot of people still underestimate the total economic chaos such a government would bring.
Kristersson believes that the differences between the two sides have become increasingly clear recently.
But will it be enough? I have no idea. We'll find out on election day.
According to Kristersson, there is an "honest enthusiasm about the possibilities" among the Moderates' election workers.
78 billion
The Moderates have presented election promises worth 78 billion kronor. Almost all of it goes to households in the form of, among other things, reduced income tax, free preschool, reduced tax on savings and the abolition of preferential taxation on public transport cards.
Economists have argued that this is the wrong focus and that households today are well enough off.
Kristersson states that the economy is always an important issue for voters and finds the criticism "strange".
It's almost like you're intentionally misunderstanding.
According to him, the election promises should not be seen as crisis support but as long-term reforms to increase Swedish growth, including by making it more profitable to work.
The election promises will also, unlike the crisis support, such as the temporarily reduced fuel taxes, be financed.
Lowered age limit
The plan is for savings on government agencies and in public procurement, on lower unemployment and "adjusted" unemployment insurance, on less benefit fraud and less foreign aid.
Whether all election promises can be implemented depends on how any negotiations with the other Tidö parties go after the election.
How quickly they can be implemented depends primarily on economic development.
"Some things will definitely be included in the first budget (for 2027)," says Kristersson.
An M election promise that could be implemented early, since it costs nothing, is to allow 18-year-olds to shop at Systembolaget.
Kristersson looks forward to negotiating with the Tidö parties about it immediately after the election.
When more and more people are doing military service and we talk a lot about everyone's obligations, it is reasonable to ask ourselves when we will achieve all rights.
