Reinfeldt's departure gives uncertain Alliance – Swedish Dagbladet

The question is what choices his successor does and who it might be.

Reinfeldt will now go to the Speaker of Parliament and submit his resignation as Prime Minister. He also declared that he will resign as a moderate leader in our.

– Frankly, I was sad, for Fredrik Reinfeldt has been a great leader for the Conservatives and a strong prime minister of Sweden, says Sten Nordin, losing Mayor of Stockholm TT.

M was the biggest loser, losing nearly a quarter of their votes. The party also lost power in the City.

– I know that Frederick is a very persistent person, so somewhere I had hoped that he even after such election results here would like to continue, says Nordin.

When Reinfeldt ends and Anders Borg has resigned as finance minister lost the remaining two in the New Moderates’ brain trust, those who laid the foundation for Moderates vault Inst 2006 along with the other three parties in the Alliance.

– I hope is that the journey continues. But it will be without my participation, I’m going to spring to hand the presidency to someone else, said Reinfeldt on M’s election night party.

Bo Frank, Moderates strongman in Växjö, is surprised Fredrik Reinfeldt’s swift resignation. Despite the surprise he does not hesitate about who he wants to see as successor:

– Anders Borg is of course not available, otherwise he would have been number one.

In the alternative, he wants to see Catharina Elmsäter-Sword as the next M-leaders.

– It’s a damn social and friendly politicians, who can renew the party further.

Stefan Lindhe, moderate Opposition in Malmö, has “naturally “Borg as favorite.

TT: Do you think he makes up

– I hope so, but it’s hard to know.

M must now spend half a year to get up a new party leader, no obvious successor exists. Political science professor Tommy Moller says Anders Borg had been a given candidate. But he does not sit in parliament.

– And he has said before that he can not continue as finance minister, he should not be left in politics. This suggests, of course he’s not interested, says Möller.

Political scientist Jenny Madestam’m surprised the time of the announcement of the departure.

– It is not at all strange that Fredrik Reinfeldt departs. But what is interesting is the timing, he does it on election night. Given the election results, he wants to lead, rather than preceded, and do it in a neat and dignified way, says political scientist Jenny Pousti.

as a possible successor, she mentions both the Minister for Infrastructure Catharina Elmsäter-Sword and Labour Minister Elisabeth Svantesson.

– I bet that there will be a woman, and that there will be a need for it to be a woman. But Borg is also a name and has a high confidence.

When Reinfeldt leave the party leader can Christian Democrat Göran Hägglund be the only one left of the original Alliance leaders. He said on election night that he would continue if the party wants to keep him.

There are no indications that the Centre Party leader Annie Loof want or need to quit. She managed to stave off a looming katastrofval for the party and deemed to have made a strong election campaign.

For more uncertain, FP leader Jan Björklund’s future to be. He has been a leader well beyond Loof and FP received only 5.4 percent of the votes, compared with 7.1 percent in 2010.
