Only the Social Democrats, the Center Party and the Sweden Democrats stand as nomination groups in the assembly.
This is despite the fact that the Moderates are the third largest party in the area.
The reason is lack of volunteers.
- We have asked any candidates, but they do not think they have time to get involved.
It feels very strange that we do not show up, says Camilla Hansson (M), representative of the Church Assembly in Fridlevstad parish.
Believes in future cooperation
The moderates aim to come back in the next election, and they hope for cooperation with other bourgeois parties, according to Camilla Hansson - whether it will be under the name Church Assembly or something else.
Nils Jedhammar (C), chairman of the church council, believes that the lack of representatives of the other classical bourgeois parties can give more votes to their own party, but at the same time sees an opportunity for future cooperation between the parties.
- It may be possible, as it is difficult to find candidates.
We will see if it can mature during this election period, he says.
