On Tuesday Sweden Democrats say whether they plan to topple the government or not.
But there are already a plan by Prime Minister Stefan Löfven if that is the case – to set In the plenary vote on Wednesday and send back the matter to the Finance Committee.
– The leaning towards resubmission, it would provide greater scope for negotiation, said a government source.
On Wednesday, the government decided fate when parliament votes on the budget. It is still unclear if the Sweden Democrats will abstain from the final vote, or vote on Alliance alternatives, which would lead to a government crisis.
Today, met members of the Parliamentary Finance Committee to adjust the financial framework before Tuesday’s meeting. The government’s budget were waiting the most support, but the SD nor did it today informed about how to vote on Wednesday.
After the Finance Committee meeting said the party’s economic spokesperson Oscar Sjöstedt to SD shall indicate on Tuesday.
– On our regular parliamentary group meeting on Tuesday with the beginning 16:00 we will determine the decisions we take. Immediately after this, this will be communicated to the media and the public, he said.
“Is a strong alternative”
According Sjöstedt the party is still prepared to trap the government’s budget.
– My assessment is that there is a strong budget option, it is ours. Since we have two very weak set against each other in the final vote. The two options differ in some areas but the differences are not the only ones strong enough for us to support one or the other option.
One reason for SD to topple the government would try to get away Green Party out of it. Previously, SD said that you think the Greens’ policy is purely harmful to Sweden.
– How we do will be determined by our view of government formation and the current head of government. Then we can conclude that the Green Party is a party that has received disproportionate influence given the migratory political agreement that many other parties have joined.
are reasons for and against
But Sjöstedt is clear that there are also reasons against to topple the government.
– What speaks against it is that it is a very large uncertainty with what’s happening instead. Neither we nor anyone else knows what happens then. There are two things that contradict one another.
It is the party leadership and the 49 members of the SD’s parliamentary group which determines how the party will do. Already have begun talks between management and members.
The Moderates economic spokesperson Anna Kinberg Batra believe that the government’s budget will get enough support on Wednesday.
– The only thing I have to take responsibility for is to present the Alliance’s proposals and vote for it and I intend to do. If the government’s budget is not passed, it is a problem for Stefan Löfven, she says.
Voting can be postponed
But if the SD announce that they intend to vote for the Alliance’s budget, and thus trap government, it is not certain that there will be no vote in Parliament on Wednesday.
According to Aftonbladet experience may Stefan Löfven then imagine that, instead of going against a certain loss, ask for a referral of the whole report to the Finance Committee.
– The leaning towards resubmission, it would provide greater scope for negotiation, said a government source.
That would mean new negotiations with the aim to secure a majority for the budget in parliament . Jonas Hinnfors, statsvetarprofessor at Göteborg University, believes that SD will follow practices and abstain, but he is not sure.
Hinnfors think the government chooses to refer the matter to the Committee on the SD say they will supporting the Alliance.
– When you buy your time creating opportunities to hammer out a compromise that can win support, he said.
But how such a compromise would look like is unclear. There may be all sorts of things, either to attract with them one or two Alliance parties, which Hinnfors do not see that very likely, or something the whole alliance can buy – which abolished the trainee job.
– It would be a major political setback for Löfven, he said.
