Yesterday brought the voters judgment.
Today, the financial market’s verdict on the election results.
A very difficult parliamentary situation may have economic implications.
Today, leaving Fredrik Reinfeldt (M) in his resignation of President and will then lead a caretaker government until a new government is in place.
It will be headed Stefan Löfven (S) yesterday declared its readiness to take responsibility for Sweden to get an energetic government. That’s fine, but how will this be done?
In yesterday’s election results have given Sweden a very difficult parliamentary situation and it is very difficult to see how the composition of an energetic government would look like.
The Social Democrats and the Green Party gather together 38.1 percent of voters, and is less than four Alliance parties. Adding the Western party support is still not higher than 43.8 percent.
Whether the government will be composed of two or three parties, they have now just a few weeks to write together on a government explanation and lay the foundations for a proposed new state budget.
But the three red-green parties are not in agreement on a range of issues. This applies to everything from pensioner tax to parental insurance, defense, nuclear power, working, economic growth, fuel duty, Stockholm Bypass, the income tax, Bromma airport, gains in welfare, EU membership and labor. To name a few of the centers of conflict.
Five biggest bang area
on all fronts unclear situation likely to have economic implications. Sweden is small, export-dependent country in the open market. If interest rates go up, and the krona weakened would not be surprised. The worst financial markets know is uncertainty and that’s what the election results led to – across the board.
Election Night biggest upsets are these:
The first is that the three red-green parties was less than the polls showed. S makes its second worst election results since Sweden became a democracy, yet it gets Stefan Löfven Sweden’s third prime minister in the 2000s.
It’s the first time since 1950 that the Social Democrats will be part of a coalition. Between 1951 and 1957 reigned C and S together.
Sweden Democrats more than doubled to 12.9 per cent and retains its pivotal position. Jimmie Åkesson both ate and kept the cake.
The other parties have thus complete failure to neutralize SD but rather ensured that support for them is increasing rapidly. Why it went so awry becomes an important homework for all parties.
The Conservatives did their worst election since 2002, dropped almost seven per cent and Fredrik Reinfeldt ends not only of government but also as party leader. What it means for the Alliance’s future is too early to predict, but it is of importance is obvious.
Maud Olofsson was the Alliance’s mother was so Fredrik Reinfeldt its father. Of the four party leaders who formed the Alliance is now just Göran Hägglund (KD) remains.
Five parties lost support. Two got a faint higher, the Left increased by 0.1 and 0.6 percentage points with the Social Democrats. And a party, the Sweden Democrats, more than twice as large.
Feminist Initiative, FI, came into a lot of municipalities and can build a base to get into parliament at the next election.
wanted to win for the third time
Fredrik Reinfeldt has already written himself into the history books. He is the bourgeois longest serving prime minister in modern Swedish history.
Thorbjorn Fälldin (C), which formed the first civil government in 44 years in 1976, sat for five years and failed to keep up his government. Carl Bildt (M), the other bourgeois Prime Minister of modern times, was voted out after just one term.
Still, it’s probably with great sadness that Fredrik Reinfeldt leave the job as prime minister and party leader. He wanted to win a third time and prove that his party was in-government, in the same way that the Social Democrats have been historically. But that did not happen.
While Stefan Löfven writes history. He becomes the first Prime Minister in living memory who never sat in parliament. And that has only 2.5 years as an active politician in the CV
Managed – but did not come up with something new
Why lost Fredrik Reinfeldt and the Alliance of power? The simple answer is that they were late.
It started with Annie Loof (C) in 2012 Almedal thought it was time for the Alliance 2.0. It was time to press refreschknappen, she said.
In the years that followed complained bourgeois editorials and commentators that the Alliance had run out of ideas. The government managed, but did not come up with something new. The warning signal did not lead to what it should. Hard work with common visions of the future.
Instead, it seemed as if the Alliance responded to the Social Democrats’ proposal. S came with a textbook gambit, as it was followed by one of the government parties. They were given a passive role.
Therefore won S
It was first used in Almedal last summer when the four bourgeois parties unveiled plans on Sweden Construction, a major investment in rail, public transport and housing. Commendable, but too late. Many voters had already counted them as a future force.
Pisarapporten was a real blow to the Alliance. Despite enormous ommöbleringar of Swedish schools plummeted as the results for the Swedish 15-year-olds in the international school survey. Sweden suffered a collective depression in December last year, when the results were presented, as all thinking people understand that reed education is Sweden’s future in a globalized world where competition is increasing every day.
Why does Stefan Löfven prime minister? Despite Löfvens impressive focus on jobs, education and innovation, the Social Democrats did a poor election results, the second worst since Sweden became a democracy. The goal was 35 percent of voter support. It was 31.3.
It is not the Social Democrats that lifts the red-green side. Neither W or MP. They won for the Alliance lost.
