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)

Ida Gabrielsson wrote that she had difficulty understanding Thand Ringqvist's argument on Agenda that the Left Party and the Center Party were far apart. She claimed that the Center Party was not particularly close to any of the other parties with Magdalena Andersson as the prime ministerial candidate in economic policy. According to Gabrielsson, the Center Party had chosen the same prime ministerial candidate as the red-green parties to avoid governing with the Sweden Democrats, but the choice also meant that the party would have less influence on its bourgeois economic policy. Gabrielsson wrote that she did not want to decide which side the Center Party should choose, but felt that the party should have thought through the consequences before going to the election on Andersson. She argued that the Center Party's actions risked blocking both possible government alternatives. Since the election result, according to her, meant that the four parties' mandates were needed to choose Andersson as prime minister, she believed that the parties had to compromise. She emphasized that the business community had not voted and that each voter had had a vote. She also wrote that most red-green voters wanted to see a government with the Social Democrats, the Left Party, and the Green Party, while the voters of the Tidö parties had other favorites. According to Gabrielsson, parties should not negotiate with mandates from voters who had voted for another government alternative, and she believed that the election result must be reflected in politics. The Left Party wanted to be part of the government, according to her, to be able to implement reforms and agreements. Gabrielsson wrote that it was difficult to understand why the Center Party opposed the Left Party in the government and claimed that the Center Party's content in a possible agreement should be respected on the same terms. #politiksverige #val2023 #demokrati (translated)
Ebba Busch wrote that on Wednesday she had conveyed to the Speaker that Magdalena Andersson should be considered as a candidate for prime minister and that her support should be recorded in the chamber. She welcomed that this was now happening. Busch also wrote that Andersson had asked for the trust of the voters to form a government and that the four red-green parties had campaigned with her as the prime minister candidate and gained a majority in the Parliament. According to Busch, the voters needed clarity through a parliamentary vote on whether the Social Democrats could live up to their promise before the election. #politik #Sverige #riksdagen (translated)
