Both the Social Democrats and the Green Party will go to the polls with their own manifesto. Meanwhile, MPs are ready to drop the issue of Stockholm Bypass in the upcoming election campaign.
There was a lot of attention last Thursday when Prime Minister Stefan Löfven declared that the budget as S negotiated with the MP and V are “obsolete”. It opened on speculation that S could be about to cut ties with the MP and bet on other partners.
But now assure both parties that cooperation remains. Just as before the election last fall, MP, and S ambition to sit in the same government if they get enough support in additional elections on 22 March.
Ad:
- We have this partnership with the Green Party. We sit in this government and I have no intention to break the coalition government. The policy remains, says Stefan Löfven (S).
Green Party party secretary Anders Wallner is on the same line:
- Just like in the last election campaign, we go to the polls as their own parties, but still with the same ambition to form a common government, he said.
Both MP and S will develop own manifesto for the extraordinary election. According to Anders Wallner MP will have the same election manifesto that later.
- We do not see in front of us that we, together with S will produce a joint manifesto. We have a manifesto adopted by our members, says Anders Wallner.
The Social Democrats will build on its previous election manifesto but thinking, allegedly to DN, to spice it up with proposals that would facilitate future collaboration across the block boundary.
- How manifesto should look like, we’ll discuss the future, says Stefan Löfven.
At the same time, both the S and MP clean up any questions that plagued cooperation since the government formation. Such is the construction of the motorway Stockholm Bypass.
S and MP have agreed to halt construction temporarily for local politicians to be able to think through the project again. The bourgeois leadership in Stockholm County Council has however stated that they do not want to see any changes. In addition, Parliament is expected next week to make an announcement that construction should start as soon as possible.
Earlier this week, stated Stefan Löfven that the government will follow the decision of Parliament and manage file ‘pragmatic and expeditiously. ” Now lean even the Green Party to drop the matter.
– The process follows the agreement we have and then get put up with the result of what the parties have said. It will certainly be a disappointment or grief if we do not come anymore, but we must respect the democratic structures and the Swedish Riksdag decision, says Jonas Eriksson, MP-group leaders in Parliament.
Although S and MP continues to be agreed by Stefan Löfven need to seek support from other parties if he will win the election campaign in March. The leaves are open for further cooperation with, for example, the Liberal Party and the Centre Party. Although a broader government can be considered.
- I do not exclude it. It could be cooperation in parliament, but it can also take other forms, he said.
