The Liberals had hoped to win support from some Sweden Democrats voters, but Jimmie Åkesson’s sharp message has made that strategy more difficult, SVT political commentator Elisabeth Marmorstein writes in an analysis.

Simona Mohamsson is fighting for the Liberals’ survival and is placing her hopes in tactical voting. The party had appealed to some SD voters with the message that there would be no Tidö government without the Liberals.

According to Marmorstein, Åkesson’s response has made it harder for the Liberals to persuade those voters to support the party.

The conclusions in the article are Marmorstein’s own and are presented as political analysis.
