AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

Valet 2022 resulterade i en Tidöregering bestående av Moderaterna, Kristdemokraterna, Liberalerna och Sverigedemokraterna. Vänsterpartiet är i opposition och har haft interna problem med lokala företrädare som spridit kontroversiella uttalanden i sociala medier.

Håller resultatet i SVT:s valundersökning sig skulle det bli en ökning med 1,3 procentenheter för Vänsterpartiet jämfört med valet 2022.

Detta trots att partiets valrörelse har kantats av en rad avslöjanden om att lokala partiföreträdare har spridit antisemitiska budskap i sociala medier och hyllat terrordömda individer.

Partisekreterare Maria Forsberg säger att hon inte har märkt att rapporteringen har haft en effekt på väljarna.

– När jag har träffat människor så är det ingen som lyfter det utan då pratar man om annat. Man vill prata om plånboksfrågor, sin ekonomi, att de möter så mycket rasism, säger hon till DN.

Undersökningen innebär dessutom att Vänsterpartiet blir större än Centerpartiet som kan bli en konkurrent i regeringsförhandlingen med Socialdemokraterna.

– Ju större man är, desto starkare mandat har man ju att förhandla såklart.

Till TT säger Forsberg att partiet också står fast vid sitt kongressbeslut och kommer att rösta nej om de inte får ingå i regeringen.

Maria Forsberg får på valvakan sällskap av partitoppen Ida Gabrielsson.

– Adjö Tidö, säger de två.
