After the SD announcement: Liberals in Laholm will not run in the municipal elections this fall

The Liberals in Laholm will not be running in the municipal elections this fall. The announcement that the party wanted to join a government with the Sweden Democrats was the final straw, reports Hallandsposten.

According to the local party association, the Liberals' U-turn on SD was carried out "via an uninformed party board and a hastily called national meeting, without opportunities for debate," the association writes in a press release signed by both the chairman and vice chairman of the Liberals in Laholm.

The way it's happening is completely incomprehensible. It shows a complete lack of respect for the party's internal affairs. I'm very annoyed by that, chairman Jan Gottfriedson told the newspaper.

In the last election, the Liberals in Laholm received 4.8 percent of the vote and won two seats.
