Saturday’s joint statement from the red-green government and the Alliance means that the extra election that was supposed to take place in March now set before it even formally announced. Sweden Democrats’ deputy leader Mattias Karlsson saw the deal:
– It is both startling and regrettable that it had withdrawn such a clear promise to the voters, to the Swedish people would have their say in this situation. It is also remarkable that the Alliance practically promise not to try to get through their policies, he says to SvD.
Karlsson also questions that the six parties in this way makes it easier for minority governments come.
– Somewhere it is a violation of the most basic principles of democracy, it is the majority that rules over the minority. Now it has of course created the conditions for a nearly how small minority at any time be able to control.
With the agreement loses SD in practice its pivotal role in the budget issue, and it remains to be seen how it will affect the party work on other issues.
– You can not think off Sweden’s third largest party from the political map, it will be very difficult in the long run, says Mattias Karlsson.
Sweden Democrats will now submit a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Stefan Löfven, which should not be seen as a symbolic protest action according to Mattias Karlsson.
– We are serious about this. About the Alliance will take that chance or if it will creep further up in the lap of Stefan Löfven we shall see, he says.
But to censure shall give no result is unlikely according to Jonas Hinnfors, professor of political science at Gothenburg University.
