Löfven makes S to the concrete batch again – Aftonbladet

30 May 2015. S Congress

“I’ll never forget when my father lost his job. Silence. The downcast eyes. “

When Stefan Löfven talking about unemployment is always changing his tone, he cringes and pulls up his shoulders, as if he’s taking kit. Then he lowers his voice.

This is the real Löfven, who are passionate, who really wants something.

The Social Democrats appear to be about to change strategy. Back to the questions Stefan Löfven went to the polls in the last year, but also back to an older, rougher, the tone in politics.

Mom Parties wish well

Sometimes people speak of “mother parties” and “dad” parties. It is when both of the political content and appearance.

A “mother party” will look after you and wish all well. You constantly get new chances and always have a shoulder to cry on.

“daddy party” however, makes demands and believes in tough conditions. It requires you to do your homework but drive you not to workout.

Mom Parties are popular between the choices, but often find it difficult to win. Dad Parties contrast, risk alienating voters but also creates a trust by standing up to certain rules and principles.

A difficult balancing act

Stefan Löfvens speech on S Congress yesterday was seasoned with the signal word. He began his speech by paying tribute to Sweden’s military veterans and thanked them for their efforts for peace.

“Swedish schoolchildren will have to try harder”

“The school goes first (before Netflix)”.

“Do your duty”

“controlled immigration”

“But now requires pragmatism”

The rhetoric is new, Stefan Löfven want do if the Social Democrats into a “daddy party” again. But his policies are still as anxious as before. It is a difficult balance. Gubbig unit celebrates this great triumphs and how concrete the party Social Democrats will be able to find a joint project with the Green Party is not obvious.

takes more than tough rhetoric

If one examines century carefully you will see that Löfven not says as much concrete. He promises to stop some times that are stacked on each other, but not to ban them. He wants to invest, but do not borrow so there are resources. He would be entitled to full time, but not for all.

Dad rhetoric hits secure the right of many social democrats. But to win voter confidence requires more than tough rhetoric – ask Jan Björklund.

Now we need to delegates at S Congress presses the party leadership for a more aggressive policy.
