– The Swedish people have left a very clear message about change, and there is no question that the incoming government has a lot of big challenges to tackle, says Stefan Löfven at a press briefing at the party headquarters on Sveavägen in Stockholm.
Löfven says he will now converse with other parties to achieve a collaboration on a government.
– I’m going this afternoon to begin negotiations with the Green Party and soon thereafter the Left.
On the other hand, it is primarily the Liberal Party and the Centre Party which are current, he says.
It is important that other parties are working together to not let the Sweden Democrats exploit its position as the balance of power, says Löfven.
– We have a brand new political map.
S-led government will table a budget, but how such a government will look like is not clear, says Löfven .
– We know nothing about the government co-operation, we are extending a hand, saying Löfven.
Social Democrat party secretary Carin Jämtin says that S is well prepared to deal with a severely weakened Alliance and unexpectedly high support for the Sweden Democrats.
– We have prepared for various scenarios, and that has long been talk that SD is possibly underestimated in the polls. So in our scenario, they have had double-digit support.
Gustaf Fridolin told TT during election night:
– It is crucial for us is that we will be able to sign a government declaration that meets climate challenge.
Left Party, Jonas Sjöstedt’s strongest feeling when he woke up this morning was concern:
– Although Sweden has a new prime minister, which is encouraging, it is obviously worrying that the Sweden Democrats went so strongly forward, he says.
TT: How competitive is it for Löfven to form the government in this situation?
– Of course it’s a challenge, but I am sure that he will do it.
Asked if the Left can sit in a government where one or more bourgeois parties included is Sjöstedt’s answer is very clear:
– No, the Left will not be included in such a government. However, we can naturally collaborate with such a government, said Sjöstedt.
Stefan Löfven stated in SVT valstudio he saw opportunities to make up with FP for more dad months of parental benefit, using C on rural initiatives and with all Alliance Parties for more money for defense. He has previously called for a broad agreement on energy policy.
Alliance parties’ reply was, not unexpectedly, that they will neither put in an S-led government or become supporting parties in parliament to one.
– Now we say to Stefan Löfven: Good luck, let you transform to a budget and a government, said the C-leader Annie Loof.
Government Negotiations will not at least be about what Löfvens first Budget to be contain.
Statement from the Alliance Leaders on election night indicated that they are committed to present a joint budget motion later in the fall. That means Löfven must ensure both MP’s and V’s support for his first budget proposal will not be voted down in December, government shed. But even if he succeeds, it would vågmästarna in parliament, the Sweden Democrats, to lower Löfvens budget by breaking the law and vote in favor of the Alliance’s budget motion.
no time limit for when government negotiations need to be clear, there is not. The Budget must be submitted by 17 November.
The Parliament may, at the earliest approve the new government of Prime Minister a vote in early October. Do Löfven least 175 against against them must form a government begin anew. It is enough, however, to the Alliance or SD abstains for the new government to be approved.
