Liberal top may leave politics after SD announcement

Liberal figure Jan Jönsson will leave politics if Simona Mohamsson's SD line is carried through.

Then I cannot be credible with my own ethics and morals and the fundamental values that I stand for, he tells Dagens Nyheter.

Jönsson, who is an opposition mayor in the city of Stockholm, chose to leave the party board on Friday after Mohamsson announced at a joint press conference with SD leader Jimmie Åkesson that L had swung and that the two parties could now govern together.

The SD announcement has sparked harsh internal criticism and several representatives have announced that they will quit if the new line is pushed through at the Liberal Party's extraordinary national meeting on Sunday.
