Swedish politician calls for more porn on TV to boost birthrate

A Swedish politician says there should be more porn on TV to help boost the country's population.

Christian Democrat Teres Kirpikli says not enough babies are being born in Sweden.

She believes that putting porn on television will put couples in the mood for sex.

The 35-year-old mother of three told Expressen: "I want more porn on TV. For example every Saturday, all day. That will give people the lust to have sex."

The local politician's comments have created a scandal within her party and one member of Parliament has advised her to step down.

But Mrs Kirpikli, from Skovde, says she believes most people like porn but very few want to admit it.

"There is nothing wrong with a married couple watching porn together. I have done it with my husband many times, and it was good."

But she adds that she does not want to see more hardcore porn on TV.

More TV porn "may boost Sweden's birth rate"

A candidate in Sweden's general election has called for pornography to be broadcast on television every Saturday to encourage people to have more sex.
Teres Kirpikli says she wants to help boost the Swedish economy by encouraging people to have more children.



I think most people like porn, even though they don't want to admit it

Her party, the conservative Christian Democrats, has reacted by asking her to leave its women's association and withdraw her candidacy from the election.

"People would feel like having more sex," said Ms Kirpikli, a 35-year-old mother of three originally of Turkish origin.

Ms Kirpikli, a councillor in the southern town of Skoevde, is standing for parliament in the election on 15 September - a vote the ruling Social Democrats are tipped to win.

"I want erotica and porn on television every Saturday and all day," she said.

"I think most people like porn, even though they don't want to admit it," she added.

The Christian Democrats have been actively fighting pornography and have called for a complete ban in all media.

'Totally out of line'

Ulla-Britt Hagstroem, head of the women's association, said she planned to meet Ms Kirpikli and that she would probably not be re-elected to the board of the association.

"This has nothing to do with our official platform," she said regarding Ms Kirpikli's views.


Christian Democrats: Remarks out of order

"This is totally against our policy."

The Skoevde councillor reacted by saying she had wanted to "start a debate on how to get more children".

She added that she understood the party was "mad" at her because she had gone against the official line.

Sweden has a negative natural growth rate, with more deaths than births now registered every year.
