Mohamsson could not name all of Sweden's basic laws

What are Sweden's basic laws? Liberal Party leader Simona Mohamsson could not answer that on SVT's program "Fördomsshowen."

In the program, journalist Emil Persson exposes the party leader's own prejudices. First up was Simona Mohamsson.

One of those prejudices turned out to be true: the claim that she doesn't know Sweden's constitution. After mentioning the Freedom of the Press Ordinance, the Freedom of Expression Act and nearly being able to pinpoint the order of succession, she stopped. Mohamsson missed the Instrument of Government - the law that regulates how Sweden is governed.

"Maybe I should have taken a citizenship test like this," she says in the program.
