The Sweden Democrats will on Friday to announce that Jimmie Akesson will return as party leader, it says sources within the party for the echo. But it is not certain that the return is positive for the party’s poll numbers. It says Echo domestic political commentator Frederick Furtenbach.
What does it mean if he comes back?
– It means a time-guaranteed media attention. In the opinion polls, it is not however certain that it means anything at all, even though Jimmie Akesson is popular among the party’s voters. Sweden Democrats is almost 14 percent in the measurements, on average, more than one percentage point higher than when Jimmie Åkesson disappeared. It is a confirmation that the party leader means less for Swedish voters than many imagine.
– Meanwhile, Jimmie Åkesson face of the long adaptation Sweden Democrats made when the party toned down his racist past and tried to become more housebroken . Management has also tried to broaden the party and talk more about such pensions, health and defense. Jimmie Åkesson seen as a guarantor of the development and is an asset to the Sweden Democrats when they are trying to reach new voters.
How the Party has developed while he was away?
– During his absence, the party has once again let alone as a Single-issue politics with total focus on immigration. It has been speculated whether it is due Jimmie Åkesson’s absence, but it is impossible to prove.
– It has also flared up conflicts within the party, and a surrounding portion secretarial post and partly because of a nasty conflict between different groups within the Youth League. Although their development may have been influenced by the party lacked regular party leader.
Why does the party this approach by suggesting that something big will happen on Friday, without telling you what it is?
– I assume that they try to repeat the grip December 3, then they would tell me they would topple the government budget or not. It gave them the enormous media space. After it made the government and the opposition a deal to strengthen minority governments in Sweden, which in practice jerked the rug from under the Sweden Democrats, and made them overshadowed in the media. Now they have the chance to be in the limelight for a while again.
