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)

Lars Boje Mathiesen wrote that the Citizens' Party had proposed to revoke the citizenship of a person of African descent, whom he described as a serial criminal. He believed the proposal was relevant because Mette Frederiksen was soon to speak with the person's father. Mathiesen asked whether the media had covered the proposal or asked the other parties whether they would support it, and what the Prime Minister thought. He also wrote that a proposal from another party, in his estimation, would have received more media coverage, and questioned whether the media were neutral. #dkpol #dkmedier #dkpol #dækning #statsborgerskab (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 urged the parties to do their job or let the voters decide in a snap election. A month after the election, the four parties that the writer claimed had won gathered in the same room for a couple of hours, but the writer argued that the meeting was not about government cooperation. The writer also demanded that all should resign. https://t.co/PLmtPCfBwe #SvenskPolitik #Val2022 #Demokrati #SE (translated)

Johan Romin wrote that a woman, when asked if the parties had come to any agreement during the day, answered that they had not. He added that they were therefore not even in agreement about being disagreeable. https://t.co/pPMa3IWqxd #politik #partier #överenskommelse (translated)

Leopold wrote that party leaders in most parties would have had to resign if the party did not achieve success. He claimed that AfS, under Gustav Kasselstrand's leadership, had not gained any traction in eight years and two elections, and had not even won a mandate in a Swedish municipality. He described it as ridiculous to call oneself a nationalist and live in Finland. https://t.co/KmBnLMDZwq #politik #nationalism #Sverige (translated)

Mikael Grev wrote that the parties on the right should decline the exploratory mission when the Speaker asked. He argued that the failure of the left should not be portrayed as a failure for both sides. According to Grev, no right-wing leader could become prime minister as long as the Center Party opposed the Sweden Democrats for emotional reasons. #politik #Sverige #partipolitik (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)

Red-Green party leaders gathered at Högberga farm to discuss Sweden's current situation and the need for cooperation to form a new government, with Magdalena Andersson (S) emphasizing the importance of all parties being prepared to give and take. #SvenskPolitik #Val2026 #Rödgröna (translated)

Daniel Schatz wrote that Mogge had pushed for Sweden to boycott Israel. He asked where the bourgeois parties stood on the issue, whether the Moderates supported the proposal, and whether the Centre Party, Birgitta Ohlsson, and Martin Ådahl supported a boycott. Schatz argued that such symbolic politics risked Sweden no longer being perceived as a serious actor in the Middle East. #Sverige #Israel #Bojkott (translated)

Ida Gabrielsson questioned after a discussion with Martin Ådahl whether there was any other party that the Center Party considered sufficiently acceptable. She wrote that C had tolerated the Social Democrats and the Green Party because they had previously agreed to govern with bourgeois economic policy so that C would not collaborate with the Sweden Democrats. At the same time, she argued, C had criticized S for its migration policy and rejected the Left Party despite V agreeing with C on the issue. Gabrielsson contrasted this with what she described as a contradiction in the Center Party's rhetoric on decency. She pointed to ministers from the Moderates whom she considered increasingly Trump-like and accused them of going after journalists and conducting negative campaigns, as well as statements from the KD leader, the right's talk of voters as voting cattle, and comments from Member of Parliament Lars Beckman (M) and Alice Teodorescu (KD), whom she described as conspiracy theorists. She wrote that Ådahl and C seemed to believe that the former alliance parties did not really support their current policy, but had been kidnapped by SD and deep down wanted to return to the era of Fredrik Reinfeldt. Gabrielsson argued that Ådahl and Magdalena Andersson seemed to think that the parties would return to the center when the Tidö cooperation ended. She called the view condescending and emphasized that the changes could also have been made deliberately and voluntarily. During the election campaign, Gabrielsson stated, she had spoken with a leading center-right politician from Stockholm about more people voting for SD in the area where she grew up. She recounted that she had highlighted material and social reasons for dissatisfaction and mentioned a neighbor who worked almost around the clock on his farm and cleared snow in half of Norrland during the winters. According to Gabrielsson, the center-right politician had responded that a difficult life did not excuse a vote for SD, as others with difficult lives did not vote for the party. Gabrielsson also relayed that her father, who grew up in Ockelbo, used to refer to C and the farmers as "the right aristocracy." On Tuesday, he had told her that he had closed the door on a DN Kultur journalist who wanted to discuss the family's background and life in the countryside and in the industrial town of Åmotsbruk. Her father had also criticized C as the worst party of the day and said he preferred the party when it was at least a farmers' party. Gabrielsson wrote that she had corrected him, but at the same time agreed that a party with 7 percent could be perceived as self-satisfied if it assumed that others would follow its line. #Centerpartiet #Sverige #politik (translated)

Lars Boje Mathiesen wrote that the Citizens' Party would propose to revoke the citizenship of a man whom he described as an African and responsible for the murder of a Swedish family father. Mathiesen believed that the man should not return to Danish society. He wrote that the man had been convicted of serious violence, rape, attempted murder, and threats, and claimed that he had abused his citizenship. Mathiesen urged the other parties to support the proposal and said that several of them had expressed outrage on social media. Mathiesen pointed out that the Social Democrats and the Liberal Party, according to him, had been in power for years without raising the penalties. He also wrote that a unanimous Parliament had granted the man citizenship, and that the Danish People's Party had voted in favor, just as Mette Frederiksen and Inger Støjberg had personally voted in favor. #dkpol #dkmedier #dkpol #danmark #statsborgerskab (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)
