Following the failure of the parties’ negotiations over recent weeks, left-wing leader Jonas Sjöstedt reiterated his threat to arouse mistrust in Prime Minister Stefan Löfven if the government goes ahead with what V considers a deterioration of labor law.
The Christian Democrats quickly declared that they would support such mistrust, while M leader Ulf Kristersson said:
– The moderates are in favor of good politics and against bad politics.
He further explained that M therefore did not want to help the Left Party with the last question. This was interpreted by many commentators to mean that Stefan Löfven is safe, no matter how much Jonas Sjöstedt threatens.
But is that true?
Maggie: “It would be a sensation”
In the new episode of Expressen’s policy podcast, the Executive Committee, Maggie Strömberg, Viktor Barth-Kron and Torbjörn Nilsson get to the bottom of what Kristersson really meant.
If you end up in a situation where KD and V jointly mistrust Stefan Löfven, which SD is guaranteed to support, then the government’s existence depends on how the Riksdag’s 70 moderates act.
– Then Ulf Kristersson and his gang will print yellow on the house, it would be a sensation, says Maggie Strömberg.
– It would be political suicide for the moderates, with the pressure that would later build up among their supporters and from the Swedish Democrats and Christian Democrats, says Viktor Barth-Kron.
Maggie Strömberg continues:
– You can see it in front of you like this spring, when there have been some shootouts between gangs. Johan Forssell has gone there, he is very angry, he is shaking a little. And then someone says, “But wouldn’t you replace this government? Why did you print in yellow for Stefan Löfven? “
Torbjörn: “To be interpreted as something in the present”
– That will not happen! exclaims Viktor Barth-Kron and returns to the writing “The moderates are in favor of good politics and against bad politics”:
– Kristersson’s topic of conversation is very smart in the here and now, but it doesn’t last over time.
Torbjörn Nilsson:
– That point of the speech should be interpreted as something of the present. It is there to push. It is there to pressure the Center Party so that it does not back down, it is to pressure the parties. He’s there to push and shove so a piece of legislation gets into place and so he doesn’t have to be involved.
