Jimmie Åkesson started the Sweden Democrats' election tour along the Göta Canal at Fiskartorget in Söderköping. The party presented a proposal for all laws to undergo rural impact tests based on a Norwegian model.
With 50 days left until the election, the Sweden Democrats launched their ”Jimmie and friends” election tour in Söderköping. Åkesson stressed that all of Sweden should thrive and that rural areas are negatively affected by many decisions.
The party wants all political decisions tested for their consequences on rural areas. The idea draws from Norway where similar rules exist to detect and compensate for negative effects.
Åkesson commented on the opinion polls where the red-greens lead by 7.6 percentage points according to the June survey. He said many voters have not yet decided and that he believes in victory.
Åkesson said the concept of ethnicity is unfortunate in a political context and that all Swedish citizens are equal before the law.
