- STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AFP) --
A Christian Democratic politician running for a seat in Sweden's parliament
called for porn to be broadcast on television all day every Saturday in
order to help boost the population and thereby the economy.
-
- Teres Kirpikli, a municipal councillor in the southern
town of Skoevde, said pornography was the best way to get couples to have
more sex and procreate.
-
- "I want erotica and porn on television every Saturday,
all day. Then people would feel like having more sex. I think most people
like porn, even though they don't want to admit it," she said in a
statement.
-
- "There is nothing wrong with a man and his wife
or partner watching porn together," she added.
-
- Kirpikli, a married mother of three, is running for a
seat in parliament in Sweden's legislative elections, to be held on September
15.
-
- But her proposal did not have the full backing of the
Christian Democratic Party.
-
- Ulla-Britt Hagstroem, head of the party's women's association,
distanced herself from the idea and said she wanted to abolish pornography
altogether.
-
- "This is her own initiative. ... I want to find
out what she really means, then we can discuss with her and see what our
party program says," she said.
