Political career
Busch, the Uppsala Municipality's political secretary, was the municipal party political secretary for Christian Democrats councillor Gustaf von Essen. She assumed responsibility for the budget when Essen went on sick leave in 2009, and at the age of 22, she became a substitute municipal councillor. Busch should be ranked third on the election ballot in Uppsala, 2010, according to the party's founder, Gustav von Essen will come first. Charlie Weimers, the party's youth group chairman, who did not get to vote, wrote that he thinks the party should have Busch at the top of the ballot.
A closed poll within the party decided the top name on the ballot, and Busch defeated Essen by a margin of two votes. Busch received 1,679 votes in the election, against only 220 for von Essen. Busch served as vice chairman of the Christian Democrat youth group from 2005 to 2011.
During 2010, Busch made several remarks condemning then party chairman Göran Hägglund and what she saw as his poor leadership following the 2006 general Election. She supported Hägglund's rival Mats Odell ahead of the party's leadership race in January 2012. She ran for deputy party chairman at the same time, but she lost to Maria Larsson. Previous top figures in the party have stated that they strongly disagree with Busch's appointment, rather than a Christian party, and have even threatened to leave their party as a result of Busch's departure, although Alf Svensson, the party's most popular ex-leader, has expressed his dissatisfaction with Busch's worldview.
Busch was confirmed as the party's leader in 2015, and was officially inaugurated on April 25. Her time as leader was long characterized by confusion about how to portray the party and low numbers in opinion polls. When the Moderate Party took over the space, her early attempts to gain seats by adopting tougher positions on immigration and citizenship were thwarted. This was followed by a shift to more traditional Christian Democratic topics, such as healthcare and family politics. At the same time, Busch maintained that the party was heading in a more conservative direction on other topics such as the opposition to Mosque prayer calls and gender research at preschools. She was also chastised by social conservatives in her own party for participating in the Stockholm Pride Parade at the same time.
In a big opinion poll released in May 2018, the Christian Democrats received only 29 percent, and the party's fortunes appeared to be bleak. However, support grew quickly as the election campaign got under way with the first debate in mid-August. Busch's solid performance in this and other debates was credited in large part for the party's surge in the polls. She led her party to their best poll results in 12 years in 2012, finishing well above the 4% threshold. Busch said in March 2019 that her party was set to start talks with the Sweden Democrats in the Riksdag, making her the first party leader to confirm her willingness to cooperate with the SD.
