| Message | We believe it is highly undemocratic for the government to decide which candidates get public funding, because it is very one-sided and bad for the democratic process. Also we have, with all the honour of the eagle of our great republic, taken the role of the official opposition! |

| Message | If we open public funding for every possible candidate, it's like giving free icecreams to children. Anyone can apply to receive a public funding, and when he receives it, he disappears into thin air. We need the government approval to filter out any possible frauds.

| Message | Mister Runar, an ill prepared and inmature minister, makes gaumless statements, comparing democracy to children and money to ice cream. In its very essence this is what this government is - authoritarian ice cream. Mister Runar, the government is discriminating against opposition figures in order to stay in power. This is not democratic. And your joke ministry is the very picture of that, how else on earth could a ice cream vendor be interior's minister? We believe the voters have a clear choice here, it's the SD. -Frodi Lukasson (SD) |
