"During the election campaign of 2009, Falkvinge announced privately on Facebook that as he was touring the country, he was looking for women to sleep with while on the campaign trail.This was picked up by tabloids and blogs and caused a controversy.

In the launch of the party's election manifesto in 2010, Falkvinge caused a controversy by stating that possession of child pornography should be legal, and that the party wanted to repeal current legislation on the topic.The Swedish Union of Journalists openly and immediately proclaimed their support for this stance. Despite this, the stance created internal controversy. Falkvinge backed from the position."
