Safe, free and Swedish is a recurring theme in the election platform, which will be up for debate and decision at the election conference in Upplands Väsby on June 12–14.
The party board wants to make it clear that the four years as a supporting party to the Tidö government are over, no matter what.
"After the next election, the Sweden Democrats are either a government party or an opposition party," it says.
And the leader of the Liberals, Simona Mohamsson, and the leader of the Moderate Party and Prime Minister, Ulf Kristersson, have already promised the Sweden Democrats (SD) a place in the government if the Tidö parties are allowed to continue.
Cold beer
Several paragraphs in the text, about what the party wants to see for society, are written in the we form:
"We can drive a car without going broke, we pay a reasonable amount of tax and we get to buy cold beer at Systembolaget."
Party leader Jimmie Åkesson has also said the party wants Systembolaget open on Sundays.
"We who live in the Sweden Democrats' future Sweden are in principle exclusively Swedes. Swedes who have lived in Sweden for generations as well as people who have chosen to move to our country, adapted and eventually become part of our nation."
Society should be secure, also financially, with cheap dental care for everyone and a universal unemployment insurance fund. And the qualifying deduction for illness should be "reviewed", with a particular focus on welfare personnel. Regulatory hassles and "authority activism" should be countered.
Abolish electricity tax
The platform also states that a future government must prioritize government spending in order to afford major reforms. The party wants to reduce aid further, eventually abolish the tax on electricity (in 2024, this tax generated 31.5 billion in revenue, according to Ekonomifakta), and make the now temporarily reduced VAT on food permanent when it is to be raised again in 2028.
Reducing the food VAT from 12 percent to the current 6 percent from April this year through 2027 is estimated to reduce tax revenue by 37 billion.
The SD, which is shaken by the fact that a member of parliament and a prominent figure in the party recently left his post after suspicions of child pornography crimes, wants a zero vision for sexual abuse of children and a public pedophile register.
