It was on 15 June this year that Member of the Riksdag Mats Persson (L) gave a speech in the Riksdag, addressed to a very special group of voters - namely "the hard-working middle class".

And once Mats Persson got up to speed, there was hardly any stop.

During the 9-minute short speech, he managed to mention "the hard-working middle class" 13 times.

He also criticized those who rallied over the middle-class fad for paddle, gardening interest and grilling.

- I must admit, however, to the Swedish people that I myself am not a fan of just paddle.

I prefer football and tennis but I hope it's okay anyway, says Mats Persson in an interview in Politikbyrån.
