Telephone sales to consumers

The plan states that all people have the right to protection of their personal integrity and is critical of large resources going to marketing that people do everything to avoid. A reversed Nix register, where the consumer must actively consent, is a direct application of that principle. The plan does not specifically address telephone sales, which is why the conclusion is derived.

The party programme establishes that the market needs democratically determined rules and that democracy has the overriding right to set conditions for the economy, which carries a requirement for consent before sales calls. The programme also makes it society's absolute duty to protect the individual's freedom and integrity. The plan does not address telephone sales, so the position is derived.

• democratic rules for the marketdecisive»Det krävs demokratiska motvikter för att skapa de stabila spelregler som behövs för att« (party programme ↗)“Democratic counterweights are required to create the stable rules that are needed to”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan wants to limit advertising's spread and protect people's right to privacy and integrity, which is threatened by both state and commercial actors. A reversed opt-in register where the consumer must actively consent before being contacted is precisely such a limit on commercial intrusion. The plan does not directly address telephone sales, so the position is derived from consumer and privacy protection.

• limited advertising spreaddecisive»Vi vill begränsa reklamens utbredning, särskilt bland barn och unga.« (party programme ↗)“We want to limit advertising's spread, especially among children and young people.”
• privacy against commercial actors»Vi vill värna människors rätt till integritet och« (party programme ↗)“We want to protect people's right to privacy and”
• strong consumer protection»Vi vill ha ett starkt skydd« (party programme ↗)“We want strong protection”

The plan does not address telephone selling, but rests on a well-functioning market economy free from centrally planned directives and on the regulatory jungle for entrepreneurs to be cleared. A ban on telephone selling without prior consent is a far-reaching business prohibition that runs in the opposite direction. The plan's strong privacy protection pulls in the other direction, hence the position is uncertain.

• fewer rules for businessdecisive»Rensa upp i regelträsket för entreprenörer, stora som små.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Clear up the regulatory jungle for entrepreneurs, large and small.”
• strong privacy protection»Ett starkt integritetsskydd är därför en omistlig del av ett öppet och demokratiskt samhälle.« (party programme ↗)“A strong privacy protection is therefore an indispensable part of an open and democratic society.”

The plan's starting point is economic freedom with the right to buy and sell and that the regulatory burden for businesses shall decrease; a general prohibition on telephone sales without prior consent is a far-reaching intervention in that freedom. The plan's consumer line concerns information, transparency and strengthened contractual position rather than prohibiting sales channels. The conclusion is uncertain since the plan does not address telephone sales at all and at the same time wants to strengthen the individual's position against companies.

• strengthened consumer position»vardagen behöver stärkas genom förbättrad konsument- och avtalslagstiftning.« (party programme ↗)“everyday life needs to be strengthened through improved consumer and contract legislation.”

The party programme requires that aggressive marketing methods be countered and values the protected sphere every person should be guaranteed. A reversed Nix register, where sales calls require active consent, is one way to protect precisely that sphere against unwanted marketing. The plan simultaneously advocates general means in business policy, so the conclusion about a prohibition is uncertain.

• aggressive marketing is countereddecisive»aggressiva marknadsföringsmetoder ska motverkas.« (party programme ↗)“aggressive marketing methods shall be countered.”
• protection of the protected sphere»Intrång i den fredade sfär som varje person bör vara garanterad innebär att den personliga integriteten kränks.« (party programme ↗)“Encroachment on the protected sphere that every person should be guaranteed means that personal integrity is harmed.”
• general means in business policy»Näringspolitiken ska bedrivas med generella medel,« (party programme ↗)“Business policy shall be conducted with general means,”

The plan does not address telephone sales or the Nix register. The nearest principle is freedom of business's strong protection and the commitment to significantly reduce regulatory red tape for companies, combined with the fact that state interventions are far from always the solution. On this basis the plan speaks against an inverted Nix register and a ban on telephone sales without consent.

• freedom of businessdecisive»Äganderätten och näringsfriheten ska ha ett starkt skydd i« (party programme ↗)“Ownership rights and freedom of business shall have strong protection in”
• less regulatory red tape»Ta bort en tredjedel av företagens administrationskostnader och en tredjedel av regelkrånglet« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Remove one-third of companies' administrative costs and one-third of regulatory red tape”
• state interventions not always the solution»Statliga ingripanden är långt ifrån alltid« (party programme ↗)“State interventions are far from always”

The plan does not address telephone sales. The nearest lying principle is that systems that tempt to fraud should be countered and that older people's security in their own homes should be protected, which speaks for a consent-based register. At the same time, the plan wants to reduce regulatory burden for businesses, which pulls in the other direction. The conclusion is therefore uncertain and derived.

• counter systems that tempt frauddecisive»Både fusk och sådana system som tenderar att locka till fusk och korruption ska motverkas.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Both fraud and such systems that tend to tempt to fraud and corruption should be countered.”
• older people's security at home»Allt fler äldre råkar ut för stölder, rån och överfall i sina egna hem.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“More and more older people are subjected to thefts, robberies and assaults in their own homes.”
• reduced regulatory burden»Verka för regelförenkling och avlasta småföretagens administrativa börda« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Work for regulatory simplification and relieve small businesses' administrative burden”
