Paula Bieler, of the Sweden Democrats, told SVT’s Agenda programme the establishment must give the eurosceptic party a seat at the table after the next general election unless they want their PM candidate ousted.

She said it would be out of the question to support a prime minister candidate without being promised influence over the next cabinet.

She said: “It is unreasonable to support a Prime Minster candidate, if we are the largest party, without negotiations.”

And as the SVT host asked if that meant shutting down Anna Kinberg Batra, the Moderate Party leader’s bid for the top job, Ms Bieler said they would oust her before she even took office, if the Sweden Democrats aren’t given a voice.

The Eurosceptic politician said: “If we don’t have any form of negotiations or no insight into what kind of Government she is planning on forming, it is unreasonable for us to support her as Prime Minister.”
