— Overall, it’s completely even. Measurements come and go and I have seen this before, says Kristersson in connection with a visit to Rinkeby in northwest Stockholm.
He says he is not worried about the declining numbers, but points out that the party usually makes a good election campaign. Nor does he see SD’s numbers as a threat.
— Only the Moderates can rally the opposition. We have shown that throughout the mandate period.
Several of the Moderates’ heart issues are high on the agenda, such as law and order, defense and the economy. Despite that, the opinion figures are not rising.
— I’m running to win this election, I’m an athlete. We have a result on the 11th in the evening and that is the measurement that applies, says Kristersson.
