When the moderate meeting ended on Sunday, the party secretary peppered the delegates before the election campaign.
- We know that we have a strong trust among the voters in their most important issues, says party secretary Gunnar Strömmer.
One part of the strategy is to focus on societal problems.
The moderates hope to attract more than 150,000 S voters with a tougher grip on crime, tighter migration policies and proposals for a stable energy supply.
The second part of the strategy is to be the "unifying party" that can cooperate with all parties to get things done.
- Our number one main enemy will not be other political parties, but the major societal problems, says Strömmer.
Demand influence
Moderate leader Ulf Kristersson aims to form a government with the Christian Democrats after the election, with the support of the Sweden Democrats (SD) and the Liberals (L).
With SD, Kristersson sees above all a collaboration on legal policy, migration and energy.
Kristersson wants to be pragmatic and cooperate on issues, but he draws the line at bringing SD into the government.
But M's political opponents, who believe that SD is racist, claim that SD will demand great influence in a number of areas, not least to give its support to a bourgeois government's budget.
The intended collaboration with SD was never debated at the meeting.
And SD was not mentioned at all in either the party leader's or the party secretary's voice.
But outside the plenary hall, by the coffee cups and the view towards Denmark, there has been talk of cooperation with SD.
