Yesterday’s debate between party leaders in parliament had been extremely confusing for anyone perchance spent the last six weeks without access to any media. Prime Minister Stefan Löfven was already in his opening statement went on the attack against the policy. The new opposition leader Anna Kinberg Batra, whose policies parliament voted, responded by asserting that “Sweden can do better.”

Now, what is it. S and MP reigns, temporary alliance with the budget. December agreement means that the scheme will soon be restored. Hopefully, parliamentary politicians then move on from the tiresome valretoriken and form a government and an opposition policy worthy of the name.

New additions in Swedish domestic politics is the alliance’s efforts to push for an inquiry into an NATO membership. This sore toe Socialists were trampled it on several times during the debate, and Stefan Löfven got really use his rhetorical imagination to slip away. No, we should not give up our alliances which served us well over the years. Yes, we are already cooperating with NATO and cooperation has deepened with time.

But the question now was neither cooperation or membership in the organization, but an unbiased investigation into Sweden’s future relationship with NATO. When Russia renovates and showing aggression and when Sweden is surrounded by NATO countries have the old neutrality doctrine be reconsidered. It is not S, now a 30 percent portion control with the help of the Green Party, which alone will do this, but it can not be implemented without S. Sooner or later, Stefan Löfven take NATO bull by the horns, if he does not want to continue tormented.

Sweden Democrats Mattias Karlsson was back in his role of December as a kind of hooligan politicians who shoots at everything. Wednesday’s gambit was the promise of a scoreless confidence motion against Prime Minister, something that of course no other party will support. Annie Loof (C) was clear that SD can not expect any influence during the term of office: “There is no majority against government policy.”

Curiosity about the new Moderate Party leader Anna Kinberg Batra was something that could possibly keep interest sustained during the (too) long debate. But she has acted in the role formerly as a group leader, and that Reinfeldt’s deputy last fall. And some new proposals she has not presenting until the party had to collect himself after the meeting.

The debate on the Spring Budget will be the first after the election that is not about the modalities for Sweden to be controlled, or who did what or said what to whom. It will be valuable for Sweden, which reproduces its political direction, and there will also be a relief for the audience in parliament and in front of the TV coverage.
