Mohamsson has a habit of talking about her integration journey through the small town of Överlida in Västra Götaland. When she returns there during the election campaign, neighbours happily tell her how they corrected her Swedish, introduced her to Svensk Damtidning and taught her to ride a bike uphill outside the house where she grew up.
I don't think the "success story" helps.
They see her as a "success story", a little girl who rarely gave up and who is now a party leader.
Mohamsson herself believes that too many children in today's Sweden lack the opportunities that she herself was given. Immigration and integration are also among voters' most important election issues. Yet the Liberal leader does not believe that her personal story can attract the voters that the party desperately needs to reach the four percent threshold.
I don't think anyone will vote for the Liberals because they think: Oh, how wonderful that Simona has made a fantastic integration journey into Swedish society.
"People vote for the Liberals for our political proposals," she says.
Shop without anxiety
During the election campaign, the Liberals have peppered out election promises, everything from strengthening the wallets of families with children so that they can afford to shop "without anxiety" to proposals for less screen time in schools. But none of them have received any major media impact. So how will the party manage to turn the tide?
L-tops who are on the tour are making different offers. The party's legal policy spokesman Martin Melin (L) says that he has come across several SD voters who have stated that they intend to vote for the Liberals because they have realized that Tidö has no chance without the party.
They vote for the team instead of the party. I am happy to accept those votes, says Melin.
There is a concern
If the party can just get its policies out there, Melin is convinced they will pass the four percent threshold. But within the party there is concern about falling below the threshold, according to Lotta Edholm (L), Minister of Upper Secondary Education, Higher Education and Research.
"You shouldn't try to fool yourself and think that we're not in a very difficult situation. We need to have good policies in all areas and put forward proposals every week," she says.
When the tour bus reaches the seaside resort of Tylösand, Mohamsson emphasizes how incredibly tired she is of talking about the party's attitude towards the Sweden Democrats. Yet it is the relationship with the party that continues to fill the media debate, not least after her visit to Åkesson's yacht this summer.
Down by the beach, Mohamsson takes the initiative for a political conversation with an ice cream vendor. He offers her an ice cream, and asks a little curiously what Jimmie Åkesson is like as a person.
A lovely guy, says Mohamsson.
