But behind the effort, another picture is emerging: a party with a limited candidate base where the party leader himself is forced to bear much of the burden.<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The party describes the initiative as strategic, but the fact that the party leader <strong>Mikail Y\u00fcksel <\/strong>is on ten municipal lists has attracted attention. The arrangement means that the same name appears in several municipalities, which is often associated with small parties that have difficulty building local organization, reports <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dagenssamhalle.se\/styrning-och-beslut\/kommunpolitik\/partiet-nyans-slar-tillbaka-anklagelser-om-vilseledning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Society of the day<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>- It's a strategy we use, other parties have done it too<\/em>, says Y\u00fcksel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He points out that smaller parties have used the same model in the past. At the same time, the approach points to an obvious problem: when the party leader has to cover large parts of the organization, it raises questions about how many candidates the party actually has.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Focus on few municipalities where chances are deemed greatest<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nyans says it is targeting where the chances of winning seats are best. The municipalities have been selected based on past results and low barriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>- We have a great chance in most, for example Botkyrka, Upplands V\u00e4sby, Haninge, J\u00e4rf\u00e4lla and Sigtuna<\/em>, says Y\u00fcksel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the strategy also means concentrating on areas where the party already has a voter base, rather than showing a broad national base. Critics say it looks more like a survival strategy than an expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Old profile issues to carry the campaign again<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the same time, Nyans is running for election on largely the same issues as before. The focus is again on LVU, integration and religious freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Y\u00fcksel says:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>- There will be a strong focus on schools, integration, crime, LVU and religious freedom<\/em>, says Y\u00fcksel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This shows continuity, but also raises questions about whether the party has renewed its message, or whether the same conflict-driven issues are again being used to mobilize a narrow constituency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A bet that exposes the party's limitations<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nyans describes the approach as offensive. But at the same time, the election campaign shows how dependent the party still is on Y\u00fcksel personally. The fact that the party leader has to run in ten municipalities seems not only a strategy, but also a sign of a party with thin staffing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means that the initiative can be interpreted in two ways: as an expansion on paper, but also as a clear measure of how limited the party's organizational strength still is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nyans is running in 14 municipalities - but party leader Y\u00fcksel himself is on ten lists.
