It is inspired and supported by Markus Allard's Örebro party.[3][4][5] Much like the Örebro party[6] it supports lowered wages for politicians,[7] stricter migration policy,[8] and free dental care.[9] It also opposes centralisation of public services within the municipality.[10]
Its logo consists of an iron manhole cover of the type produced within the municipality, with the initials TL engraved.
Activities
Party leader Tastas Viktorsson successfully appealed a decision by the local government to expand various advisory committees in 2023. The decision was found unlawful by an administrative court, as the costs associated with the additional politicians were not funded as required by Swedish municipal law.[11]
In 2024, the party was key to a popular initiative campaign to hold a referendum on stopping the removal of street lighting in many of the municipality's rural areas.[12][13] The initiative gathered enough support to clear the Swedish legal threshold at the petition stage, but the referendum was stopped by a blocking supermajority of the municipal assembly in December of that year.[14][15]
The party has endorsed direct municipal control of public facilities rather than ownership through municipal corporations, citing alleged mismanagement and corruption within the latter.[16] The issue will be subject to a referendum held alongside the 2026 elections as a result of another popular initiative.[17][18]
