the Word ”new” was picked up for a few weeks then away from the Conservatives to sign. Instead, they have now put it in the title of his vårändringsbudget: ”The new Swedish model”.
party Leader Ulf Kristersson said during his press conference that the Swedish model has delivered for a long time in Sweden.
– You must be able to have two thoughts in your head at the same time, confidence in the Swedish model has been strong, but it’s not working now, think Ulf Kristersson.
to put the focus on the problems which ”need to be resolved here and now”. The conservatives want to invest extra effort in their vårändringsbudget in: integration, the police, the borders and the Swedish defense capability.

the Conservatives economic policy spokesperson Elisabeth Svantesson fill in:
” We would have had to get in place a bidragsreform which also has a ceiling, which makes you unable to stack the contributions on each other. We should also have been given to a reform of the polislöner. Here and now, you can do a lot, we did it in the budget in december, together with the KD. The investment draws the government back, we think that is unfortunate, ” says Svantesson.
She also tells us what the Conservatives want of a skatteomläggning.
– A tax reform should not be a means in itself, it should be a means to solve societal problems. There is also a problem with the tax system itself. It is about high marginal tax rates, we also have the highest skattekilarna in the world on low incomes, ” says Svantesson and ask themselves if Sweden’s level of taxation is ”of god given”.
the Conservatives want to see a reduction in taxes on low incomes, in combination with a bidragsreform. They also want to reduce the marginal tax and raise the utbildningspremien.
Ulf Kristersson think that in the present situation will be difficult to agree between the various parties on a common skatteomläggning.
– the Last time we were able to agree, therefore, that we could finally agree on perspective the problem that we. That is to say, the more crisis-insight you get the more chance you have to agree on the details. Where we are not at all, the government and stödpartierna agree a wish list to solve all problems at the same time. It is a completely unrealistic picture of what a tax reform can do. And it is as it gets when forcing each other to bring the policy to which it does not believe in, ” says M-leader.
Tax reform is not something you do for fun as a board game. They are there to solve problems. Do you think that is a problem with high marginal tax rates then, you solve it. Do you think that’s a problem that low income be taxed so high that the contribution will be an option, then you solve it. But if you do not have a basic idea of what problems there are in Sweden, then it becomes also very difficult to agree.
