That is the configuration they went for in sweden, the far-right supports the government in exchange for them to implement their policies and not be allowed to critizise them. Win-win for the far-right, they do not get blamed for their shitty policies, the liberals and conservatives do, and they can blame the government for anything that goes wrong.

Wow, that sounds like being the possibly best situation in which populists can find themselfes: having a free ticket for destructive criticism without accountability and at the same time bringing the country to fall with their shitty policies, which in turn fosters dissatisfaction and furhter improves their standing.

They will never hold themselves to the same standard they're holding you to. You can't engage with them on equal terms.
