The announcement comes after DN's exposure of the telemarketing company that sold the Social Democrats' party lottery tickets using aggressive methods.

It involves, among other things, cases where elderly and vulnerable individuals are called and pressured to buy.

It's a sales method that's supposed to be quick. It's hard to compare with other products and they have methods that are very aggressive. There's no reason to allow it, says the Left Party leader Nooshi Dadgostar (V) to TV4.

The Left Party wants telephone sales to only exist in voluntary form.

If you want salespeople to call you and sell things, then we suggest that you sign up for a list for that. A reverse so-called "nix-list", says Dadgostar.
