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)

Carl Eos agreed with Jimmie Åkesson's reasoning in Expressen about the Sweden Democrats' role in cooperation with the center-right parties. Åkesson had written that the Sweden Democrats (SD) had been driving many reforms, but that the parties holding ministerial positions had received visibility when the reforms were implemented. He also pointed out that the cooperation had limited SD and asked why voters would choose the party over the Moderates if the center-right was perceived as good enough even on issues where SD had taken the lead. Eos wrote that the center-right parties had been able to showcase successes within SD's strong policy areas, while SD had not made corresponding advances in other areas. He argued that the parliamentary election in 2026 would largely be about issues where SD was weaker and, to a large extent, not about policy issues. Eos also noted that both Ulf Kristersson and Jimmie Åkesson had said that the time after Tidö had begun, and wrote that this would likely create discussion. https://t.co/JWjMHlH2Ri #Sverigedemokraterna #politiskdebatt #val2026 (translated)
