Kristersson: Sweden Democrats will not get 12 ministerial posts

The Sweden Democrats will not get 12 ministerial posts in a Moderate-led government, M leader Ulf Kristersson told SVT Nyheter.

In an interview with Radio Aftonbladet, SD party leader Jimmie Åkesson said on Wednesday that between 12 and 14 ministers from the party is a reasonable starting point based on current opinion polls.

Then again, it's not necessarily the case that you have to claim all of them. You can imagine that there are certain political decisions that are particularly important to us that you could trade ministerial positions to get.

According to Ulf Kristersson (M), SD cannot get 12 ministerial posts.

No, it can't. Then everyone wants to be the biggest, best and most beautiful. But of course it doesn't work that way. You negotiate your way into both politics and ministerial positions and you do that when you have won an election, you don't claim any victories in advance.
