After the super election year came super six months: the period after the elections in September among the most dramatic in modern political history. We have an S-MP-government – the first ever – who are forced to govern with a bourgeois budget, which was passed by the Sweden Democrats’ support.
We received a government crisis that called off only after the people involved had been staring the new elections in the eye – and rather made up about what policy should go in through parliament. Which led to the SD proclaimed himself the sole opposition party.
Fredrik Reinfeldt has resigned as a moderate leader, and KD’s Göran Hägglund should resign. It has also become apparent that there is a not insignificant number of Liberals who think that Jan Björklund should do the same.
Despite all this: In SvD / Sifo’s voter barometer six months after parliamentary elections, opinion polls surprisingly similar outcome. It means continued weak support for the two major parties: the Social Democrats with 28.9 percent and Moderates by 22.1 percent.
There is really no party has any reason to enjoy public opinion trends the past six months.
There is really no batch which has some reason to be happy about public opinion trends the past six months. Possibly, the Sweden Democrats celebrate the party now according to Sifo’s second largest party – that is larger than Moderates – the “smaller urban and rural areas.”
Next weekend gather the Christian Democrats to the municipality of days in Orebro – it is usually an occasion for the chief mourners, but this time the air will be buzzing with rumors because the party in late April to choose a successor to Göran Hägglund.
Two female candidates looks right now like it was the strongest: the party secretary Acko Ankarberg Johansson and Ebba Busch Thor, Mayor of Uppsala.
The two also represent different currents in the party: Ankarberg Johansson represents a continuation of Svensson and Göran Hägglund-line; a kind of pragmatic general bourgeois attitude.
While Ebba Busch Thor has roots in the Youth League, which in recent years has developed into a value conservatively covenant, clearly inspired by the American right.
The alliance is the most important perhaps if the Christian Democrats embarking on a line that can stop bleeding Moderates the Sweden Democrats – or take back voters from there. Stealing M-voters were the KD’s goal already in the 2014 election, but it failed. In the party’s election analysis found that it failed to speak to disappoint M-voters about what particularly interests them: integration and migration, defense and criminal policy.
The party leadership election within the Christian Democrats can therefore be very interesting, and have implications for the rest of the Alliance. On April 25, the choice is clear, and then will therefore both the Moderates and the Christian Democrats will be led by two relatively new party leader.
The new KD-leader hatch also just in time for the so-called December agreement will be tested in the political reality, just after the government has presented its spring and supplementary budget.
It is therefore Prime Minister Stephen Löfvens first chance to get through anything at all of the S-MP government’s economic policy. But it is also a time when the Alliance leaders must prove to their constituents that they do not lay flat for the government, when it signed the deal that stopped new election.
And if it had not been stopped, it would have just in Today has been 35 days left until Election Day.
