At 5 p.m. on Friday, Magdalena Andersson and Ulf Kristersson are set to present their government proposals. But the Left Party’s demands for ministerial posts threaten the red-green coalition—while a new poll shows that Center Party voters would rather accept support from the Sweden Democrats than the Left Party in the government.
On Friday, November 13, the Center Party’s deadline expires. The party leader Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist has demanded comprehensive government proposals from the Social Democrats and the Moderates, including details on policy, parliamentary support, and how to limit the influence of fringe parties.
Ulf Kristersson (M) confirmed on Friday morning that the center-right parties will present a joint proposal. Magdalena Andersson (S) has also announced that she, too, will submit her proposal this afternoon.
The Left Party is blocking a deal
On the red-green side, the conflict over the Left Party’s ministerial posts continues. Nooshi Dadgostar refuses to drop the demand, while the Center Party opposes the V party's participation in the government. TV4:'s political reporter Magnus Wennerberg describes the situation:
– With the Left Party's press conference Yesterday, the perception that the red-green coalition has a comprehensive package of proposals clearly fell apart in full view of the public.
At the same time, frustration is growing within the Green Party. According to Dagens Nyheter, several local representatives are expressing concern that the red-green coalition will lose its grip on power.
New Poll Opens the Door to an SD Solution
A survey by Indikator Opinion shows that 54 percent of the Center Party voters surveyed prefer a four-party center-right coalition government backed by the Sweden Democrats to a red-green government in which the Left Party holds ministerial posts or a special election.
However, when the option of having the V Party as a supporting party is also offered, 49 percent prefer a government consisting of the S, MP, and C parties, while 38 percent choose the center-right option.
The SD Could Play a Decisive Role
The Sweden Democrats have dropped their demand for ministerial posts and indicated they are willing to support a center-right government. The party’s votes could still be decisive in passing the national budget.
The Center Party is not expected to announce its decision on Friday. Instead, internal deliberations will continue over the weekend, while Kristersson is scheduled to report back to the Speaker on November 17.
At 5 p.m., it will become clear which options are actually on the table—but not necessarily who will form the government.
You guys are the best, Eva and Viktor—you know it!!!
Petra is No. 2, and Torbjörn and Tyr are tied for second place.
You are, without a doubt, the best channel
What do you guys at Frihetsnytt think—if the Pedophile Party switches to the Greens or the Social Democrats, and if the Left Party refuses to go along with this crap?
I'm wondering if the L, SD, M, and KD parties will stick together
Well, then Toothless Ringqvist can go screw himself, right???
