I go left alliance leaders indication of how they intend to act on the election results go against them on 14 September. Will the three red-green alliance parties larger than leaves Fredrik Reinfeldt in his resignation. But when the latter comes time to vote on the new prime minister thinks the alliance did not release until the government “has not demonstrated that it has the potential to get through its budget proposal.”
But really all this is not about what will happen after the election – but more about that affect the remainder of the campaign. The alliance wants to push Stefan Löfven to admit that V must be included in the Community. Then the field open for alliance leaders to warn of the rödrödgröna policy.
When the red-green are not united alliance can warn of parliamentary chaos. When the red-green agree, warnings in place the policy itself.
Alliance announcement forced in practice Stefan Löfven that at a press conference yesterday afternoon include the Left in an imagined future coalition.
And Jonas Sjöstedt immediately felt the sweetness of reaching the center and told TT what he wants to do in a government. Profit Prohibition of welfare within two years. Shutting down a reactor. Scrap the surplus target. No to upgrade Jas and participation in EU battle.
About the Red-Green wins the election, there are two risks. One is that there will be a move in parliament to the government is not getting enough support. It may seem ominous, but do not need to be there in the long run. A government crisis, rather pave the way for partisan cooperation that is good for Sweden.
The second risk is the big, and that is that there will be a strong red-green government. It could mean major changes in key policy areas.
The problem is that the common red-green politics, unlike in 2010, is not recognized. Thus, the politicians from the government side and the political commentators who may speculate about and summarize the positions that may be the red-green direction.
2010 could all see the tax increases that the Red-Green suggested, 16 billion the following year. This time, it is easier for voters to ignore the overall effect of a red-green cooperation. But a number of conflicts will be solved in a red-green government negotiation and all three parties must get something.
You can see some areas that are important for the economy and business, where it will be problems with a red-green government:
- infrastructure. Both MP and V to stop the motorway tunnel Stockholm Bypass. Both also want to close the Bromma airport. S would not.
- Energy policy. Both MP and V want to close nuclear power plants. Stefan Löfven has been silent, but S of Congress that nuclear power should be phased out.
- defense. V and MP wants to stop Jas project and next-generation submarines. V wish to discontinue representation at NATO headquarters. S want to keep everything.
- gains in welfare. V has a ban line. S prefer sharpness quality.
- Taxes. All three want to raise the marginal tax rate for highly paid. Everyone wants to double the employer’s contribution to young people. All but MP wants to abolish the reduced VAT tavern. MP wants to raise environmental taxes; S is not as “on”. V To remove rutavdraget. S wants to restrict it. MP wants to develop it.
The list goes long or short depending on the political attitude to have. But it is high time to discuss the contents of the red-green politics, and not just what happens if there is parliamentary chaos.
