He assessed that certain formalities remained, but that it was practically ready, and argued that Andersson otherwise would not reasonably have asked for another day. #Sverige #politik #regering (translated)

Henrik Salander wrote that the S-leader Magdalena Andersson had first had four years without anything happening and then a month after the election on September 13, also without results. He stated that she then received a task but left it before a new speaker was elected, and afterwards got a new assignment with a deadline the following day. Salander added that she had now been granted an extension and asked what it was all about. #politik #Sverige #magdalenaandersson (translated)

Magdalena Andersson's meeting with Speaker Andreas Norlén has been postponed to Tuesday, where she is expected to announce whether she has a government foundation, but the signals indicate continued locked positions that complicate the formation of a red-green government. #Regeringsbildning #MagdalenaAndersson #Talmannen (translated)

The writer described it as their greatest nightmare to discover as a voter or party activist that they found themselves in the current situation. They referred to the fact that seven percent of voters had unknowingly voted for a think tank instead of a political party and suggested Lena Andersson's text. https://t.co/pX9ZdxjCVs #Väljare #Politik #Sverige #SE (translated)

Magdalena Andersson has not succeeded in preparing a joint political project to form a new government in Sweden after the election, resulting in a lack of concrete proposals and direction for cooperation between the various parties. #PolitikSE #Regering #Socialdemokraterna (translated)

Ledarsidorna.se wrote that Peter Hultqvist's interview was an attempt to limit the damage and give the Social Democrats a more "hawkish" profile. The writer thought that several proposals in the interview were good: a permanent amphibious battalion in Gotland, re-establishing I 22 in Kiruna, and above all, building a third submarine of the A26 class. The writer claimed that larger combat vessels needed to be built in series of at least three to ensure redundancy, with two operational and one for training or maintenance. As support, the writer referred to his own experience of two years of service as ELF and LFO at PTK Gbg, the test command for Göteborg-class corvettes. Ledarsidorna.se expressed uncertainty about Magdalena Andersson's foreign and security policy stance and wrote that neighboring countries were not impressed by her latest statement, which the writer believed opened the door for reduced engagement on NATO's northern flank. The writer also believed that Pål Jonson should remain as defense minister and called him the best in the position in modern times. Compared to Hultqvist, the writer thought that Jonson had better knowledge of weapons and weapon systems. #svpol https://t.co/ihG7cqkWH5 #säkerhetspolitik #försvar #svenskpolitk (translated)

The pressure is increasing on Magdalena Andersson (S), who may be forced to face a vote as prime minister in the Riksdag as early as Wednesday, while she reports to Speaker Andreas Norlén on the progress of the government formation. #Riksdagsvalet2026 #MagdalenaAndersson #Omröstning (translated)

InteSosse described the image as epic and wrote that the politician Thand had not followed the developments in Sweden since 2012. They claimed that Helldén was afraid that a market liberal would enter the room and mocked Lind for seeking advice from the birds in their hairstyle. Andersson's gaze was described by InteSosse as perpetually hateful and Nooshi as constantly absent. https://t.co/gl6ZOQdwCj #Sverige #politik #samhälle (translated)

Leader: Time to let the Left Party show its true colors argues for giving the party an opportunity to clearly express its positions in connection with the upcoming prime minister vote where Magdalena Andersson is not expected to win. #Vänsterpartiet #MagdalenaAndersson #Politik (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson wrote that the Left Party, unlike most other parties on the red-green side, had not campaigned primarily with the message of saying no to the Sweden Democrats (SD). According to her, the party had not repeatedly talked about an SD government, presented proposals for twelve SD ministers whom she described as more or less uncouth, or warned that Jimmie Åkesson could become prime minister. She wrote that the Left Party also believed that SD was wrong, but that voters needed to know what policies they were voting for. Gabrielsson thought that the negative campaigns and the political representatives' approach to each other had made it confusing to distinguish between SD and the other Tidö parties. She emphasized that the rhetoric had come from, among others, Ebba Busch, Simona Mohamsson, and moderate ministers, and that the politics had been presented jointly. According to Gabrielsson, the Left Party had therefore primarily focused on the policies it wanted to change. A campaign solely against SD risked, she wrote, appearing to target a group of people and giving someone the opportunity to adopt a victim role. She also believed it was contradictory to claim to be able to collaborate with everyone except SD, or preferably with the Tidö parties without SD, while campaigning on a different policy. Gabrielsson wrote that the Left Party had campaigned on its own policies and with Magdalena Andersson as a candidate for prime minister, well anchored in the red-green side. Therefore, according to her, the Left Party should not have to settle for having achieved a no to SD. #politik #Val2024 #rödgröna (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson argued that the government formation should be based on the fact that S, V, MP, and C had campaigned for a change of power and had Magdalena Andersson as a common candidate for prime minister. She wrote that C could not count in parties that did not support Andersson and at the same time demand influence based on their mandates. According to Gabrielsson, voters had given C 7 percent and V 8.4 percent, and V would not accept C pursuing right-wing policies with the support of V's mandate. Gabrielsson stated that C could seek support from Ulf Kristersson or try to get KD and L to switch sides. If that did not happen, C needed to negotiate with S, V, and MP to get a majority behind Andersson, according to her. She wrote that V was willing to compromise, but that the parties supporting a prime minister candidate must also be able to accept each other as a government basis. She criticized C’s growth proposals, including continued privatization of the Employment Service and permanent tax subsidies to cleaning companies and large restaurant chains. Gabrielsson claimed that the Economic Institute, the Fiscal Policy Council, and others had assessed the proposals as ineffective, expensive, and ineffective in creating jobs. She also wrote that the proposals would be financed through cuts to unemployment benefits and sick pay as well as cuts in welfare. Gabrielsson asserted that the most voters preferred a red-green government, followed by the Tidö alternative, while C's centrist alternative lagged far behind. She wrote that more people had voted for S, V, and MP than for the previous Alliance if SD was excluded. Finally, she urged C to first clarify its political direction and implied that the party needed to choose a side if it could not find a centrist solution. #Regering #Sverige #Politik (translated)

Ledarsidorna.se questioned whether Magdalena Andersson was suitable as prime minister and government builder. The writer described their personal image of her as fundamentally positive but criticized her actions in security policy issues. The writer pointed out that Andersson had said in spring 2022 that Swedish NATO membership would destabilize the region before she reportedly changed her stance when Finland moved toward membership. Ledarsidorna.se also referred to an interview in Politico where Andersson allegedly wanted a future government to place greater importance on "the global south." The writer claimed that this aligned with Vladimir Putin's interests and highlighted Russia's actions towards the Baltic states. The post also mentioned that Morgan Johansson, according to Ledarsidorna.se, had stated that the Social Democrats wanted to pause an association agreement with the EU. The writer asserted that this would undermine Sweden's and NATO's northern flank defense capability, as Israeli Elbit Systems was the main supplier of communication systems to the Swedish and Finnish armies. Ledarsidorna.se also criticized that five Social Democratic members of the European Parliament had voted against a resolution to counter Islamist entryism in the EU. The writer claimed, referencing their sources, that the decision had been made by the Social Democrats' executive committee on Sveavägen 68. The post stated that Andersson and the committee had a different assessment of the Muslim Brotherhood than French and German intelligence and security services, without providing the basis for this. The writer concluded by asserting that there were good reasons to ask whether Andersson wanted what was best for Sweden and the Swedish people. #svpol #Sverige #politik #Socialdemokraterna (translated)

Ledarsidorna.se wrote that the French and German intelligence services seemed to have understood significantly more than Morgan Johansson and Magdalena Andersson. The writer compared the situation to 2022, when the Social Democrats and Andersson, according to the post, did not want to join NATO. Ledarsidorna.se added that Andersson had proclaimed herself the winner of the elections just over a month earlier, while Sweden still lacked a government, and urged readers to draw their own conclusions. #svpol #politik #Sverige #NATO (translated)
