The voters are winners when new elections are set. As in the political system that eleven fifty-five proven that it can take responsibility.
The biggest losers are the Sweden Democrats who for eight years deprived of influence over parliamentary important decisions.
The idiotic idea of election is happily called off.
It was was a bad idea from the start because it would not solve the fundamental problem. Namely the parliamentary chaos that occurs every once in red standing against blue and Sweden Democrats determines which side wins.
Prime Minister Stefan Löfven (S) thought simply wrong. And obviously, he has come to that realization because extra election called off just 24 days after it was announced.
Have taken responsibility
The winner is the voters. They said its a little over three months ago. After that it is the people’s elected representatives, and no other, who has the ball.
The winner is also the political system. With juluppgörelsen about how minority governments get their budget approved by parliament, they have taken the responsibilities expected.
The alliance may also to some extent perceived as winners. All four parties backed the election last fall, and the would-M and alliance leader Anna Kinberg Batra’s not even elected. They need a little more time to collect himself to yet another choice (and it’s not me saying it, but representatives of the Alliance).
The leaves are among the losers
But there are scratches in the paint. Among other promises the four bourgeois parties not to vote against budgets Left apparently will have more influence over than they ever had before. What do their constituents about it?
For the losers hear Prime Minister Stefan Löfven whose statements have been shown to have a short shelf life. First he said he could not rule on the basis of the Alliance’s budget. But there he could.
Then he said that would call new elections. But canceled it before it was formally announced. The government would have done on Tuesday.
But Stefan Löfven remain as prime minister, although the price was high. During the coming year, for example Alliance policy for income taxes. And should there be a change of government in 2018 the Social Democrats have vowed to pass Alliance budgets.
Will not be voted out
But the biggest loser is without a doubt the Sweden Democrats. For eight years they will be deprived of influence over parliamentary important questions, who should be prime minister and government coffers. How will they cope with the loss?
Screaming even higher is the option that is close at hand. At least since the last determined to seek vote of no confidence about Stefan Löfven as Prime Minister. But it is just an empty empty gesture, Löfven will not be voted out.
The alliance invited to talk about how the country should be led on two key points during the nightly meeting with Stefan Löfven and MP’s Gustav Fridolin in early December. The invitation was repeated in an article five days later. But then they had four bourgeois parties changed from wanting to change the rules that they too could imagine a political agreement.
Then nothing happened for several days, then put the talks started under great secrecy. On Boxing Day was the agreement completed after eight intensive days.
The battle moves
It is good that it became a political agreement and not new laws directed against a single party, the Sweden Democrats. Therefore it is also good that it is limited to election day 2022. Otherwise the risk is that the agreement is seen as undemocratic.
Will there be silence in parliament now? No. But the battle moves to areas other than budgetary.
The most exciting political autumn in living memory ends as it should be. The great drama. It makes for a busy spring, albeit in another way than planned.
