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)

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)

The writer asked if criminals could have gained new hope when the government was reportedly constrained and a red-green government could potentially take office. Since the election, several murders and shootings had occurred, the writer wrote. #Sverige #brott #politik #SE (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson wrote that the red-green coalition had met and listened to a joint situation report. She described the conversation with representatives from C, S, and MP as pleasant and said that meetings were a prerequisite for better understanding each other. She thanked C for the arrangement and wrote that V wanted to start negotiating a new government as soon as possible, but that the group had at least managed to have coffee. #politik #Sverige #regering (translated)

The writer claimed that the red-green coalition wanted to pursue an anti-Israeli foreign policy by freezing trade agreements, while anti-Semitic forces celebrated on the anniversary of the massacre on October 7, 2023. According to the writer, this did not mean taking a stand against anti-Semitism, but rather serving its interests. #Antisemitism #Israelkritik #Utrikespolitik #IL (translated)

The writer stated that it did not seem to be irony, but that the red-green parties planned to govern Sweden together. The post reflected Magdalena Andersson's hope that today's meeting would lead to more joint meetings between the four parties. Andersson also said that they had had many bilateral discussions up to that point. #Sverige #politik #partier #SE (translated)

Left Party's Ida Gabrielsson expresses skepticism about Magdalena Andersson's chances of succeeding in a vote of confidence after an upcoming meeting between red-green top politicians, where she also hints that the Centre Party may have closed the door to cooperation. #SvenskPolitik #Regeringsförhandlingar #Vänsterpartiet (translated)

Simone Svensson shared a post from Patric Källman on Facebook and described it as thought-provoking. Källman wrote that the picture of trust in the party leaders clearly showed that voters, according to him, discovered Magdalena Andersson's shortcomings as a leader only after the election. He criticized the media for not having scrutinized her sufficiently and claimed that for four years she had not prepared a government alternative. Källman wrote that the red-green coalition gathered to create a common situational picture, not for government negotiations. Despite four Almedalen events during the term, the Center Party, according to him, needed to arrange another Mini-Almedalen in Lidingö. He also argued that Andersson had not been held accountable for how she would form a government and that the blue-yellow team would have won the election if that question had been addressed. He assessed that the red-greens would likely still manage to form a government, but claimed that the cooperation thereafter would be dysfunctional. #politiksverige #Almedalen #MagdalenaAndersson (translated)
