With record-low support, 52 votes out of 344, were elected on Monday Sweden Democrat Björn Söder to the Second Deputy Speaker. Before the election was clearly required three ballots that took more than three and a half hours to complete.
In the third and final ballot, where a majority of the votes no longer needed, got the candidate for parliament’s third largest Party 50 votes. This means that four MPs from other parties than SD also gave his active support to the South. Other 292 Members present abstained.
The first voting round Björn Söder got 53 votes, and in the other 51 votes. This means that seven members from other parties supported him in the first round and five in the other. And in the third vote was then six members from other parties that supported him.
Ad:
Who voted in the South is unclear because the vote was conducted by ballot. The ballot was conducted at the request of the Left Party group leader Hans Linde.
The President participated choice 345 MPs. Four members were absent, including three from SD. This means that the Sweden Democrats on Monday only has 46 members in place in parliament.
In the third draft pick missed the Conservative Member of Parliament Jörgen Andersson from Kalmar to vote.
All three voting rounds were conducted by secret ballot.
Social Democrat Urban Ahlin was chosen just before 11.30 to parliament new President. Shortly thereafter elected Mr Billström (M) as first Vice-President. Both were elected unanimously.
Subsequently nominated Sweden Democrats Björn Söder as Second Vice President. Left Party group leader Hans Linde went up into the pulpit and requested a secret ballot on Björn Söder. Linde’s reasoning was that all members who wanted to highlight the choice of SD. candidate would have the opportunity to vote blank.
The nomination of the South received harsh criticism of the V leader Jonas Sjöstedt when he went into the Chamber. Sjöstedt believe it is inappropriate to Björn Söder to be Second Deputy Speaker.
- This is a person who distinguished himself by a series of homophobic and racist remarks in the past. I press that it is inappropriate to have such a President. It is inappropriate to have a right-wing and racist party in this key position, for example in touch with other countries. Therefore, we will not vote for the Sweden Democrats, said Sjöstedt.
Any chance to Björn Söder was hardly stopped since the bourgeois parties according Moderates group leader Anna Kinberg Batra believes that the practice is to be followed. South needs to get a majority of the members behind.
Green Party Esabelle Dingizian was elected Third Vice President.
