Jimmie Åkesson (SD) has this week made a media comeback. The party leader limited his media appearances due to falling opinion poll numbers.
The decline is linked to one of the main issues of tonight's 30 minutes – namely the very modest fall in fuel prices. For the SD, the election promise of a rapid reduction in the price of diesel by ten kronor was a contributing factor to the success in rural areas. 56 percent of SD voters saw their own wallet as crucial to the party election, a higher proportion than any other party.
