Government: Create more low-wage workers
Tidölaget's strategy is to, after a short time, lower the unemployment fund by 5% every 100 days until it reaches a bottom of SEK 8030 before tax per month. This contrasts with the needs of the long-term unemployed. These are often functionally varied often functionally varied or long-term ill and cannot cope with the low-wage jobs the government advocates to solve...

The two-degree target is possible if the state invests now
The states of the world and Sweden must subsidize the transition to green technology and green energy as soon as possible. It is important for the two-degree target for global temperature increase. Without the state, Sweden risks missing both industrial competitive advantages and the chance to save the climate and nature. The 1,5 degree target has probably been exceeded. But if the states of the world and Sweden invest properly in...
No government deficits – society's unnecessary straitjacket

Freedom, equality and good jobs for all are needed if the red-greens are to regain power
Freedom and security mean a lot to the people of Sweden. It is disgusting that welfare becomes ethnically demarcated. We can afford and have an ethical responsibility to have refugee immigration, but it must be done in the right way without economic neoliberalism. But the election and the blue-brown's Tidö agreement show so far that if the red-green are to rule again,...

The red-greens must protect freedom and solidarity
Almost as many die in workplace accidents as in gang crime. Hundreds of workers, especially men, kill themselves every year because of the hard working life. The welfare increases of 2014-18 were too weak if wonderful and the slaughter of LAS and the attack on the low rent system and the tax cuts for the rich 2018-2022 horrible. Those who were hit hardest by the…
The moderates threaten wage growth and productivity
The moderates threaten the wage trend. "In 100 days, the Moderates will implement a major reform package if they win the election, the Moderates' party leader Ulf Kristersson promised the other day. The A-fund must be reduced, a further time limit must be reintroduced in the health insurance, the activity support must be reduced as well as the multiple-child allowance."
