S Congress in Västerås has been an event where all singing with the angels. But when Congress 2017, Löfven come up with more than references to the difficult parliamentary situation.

No. Something gladiatorial did not invite the Socialist Congress in Vasteras. To the extent any kind have been fought there has been in the focus groups where the party board’s proposal sanded down to the exerciser. And there have been media is not got to be with. Plenary has more been a rounding mark where new party executive, adjusted proposal in essence voted.

If you only listen to the debate will be the image of the Party misleading. The discussion of an individualized parental insurance is a good example. The party had after negotiating in closed rooms forced to write about long-term aim should be an individualized parental insurance where the days assigned outright between parents.

 
        
             
     
     
 

A historic day, averred several social democratic delegates from the rostrum. No argued against – as if there were no representatives who thought differently on the merits. Of the processes in these enclosed room becomes policy more the result of negotiation than opinion mining. The risk is that the route embodied characterized less by what the majority wants and more of what everyone can claim. Much like when the Social Democrats choose party leaders. And everyone remembers how it went with the compromise candidate Hakan Juholt.

There is of course no coincidence that one year is not specified. Neither the party leader Stefan Löfven at his short meeting with the media on Sunday emphasized that the goal was long-term, the government is now conducting a third specialdestinerad month and it is the biggest change in the insurance then the other “father’s month” was introduced in 2002. With the pace it would take more than 40 years to reach the target.

Prime Minister defends himself against all journalists’ questions about 4, 25, and even 100 years, says instead that we must regard the parents. Here is a crack. Delegates inside the congress hall talking about how amazing it is that the Social Democrats taking on leadership and showing the way. The Prime Minister standing outside with journalists and try to convey the message to the voters – who mainly want to retain power over the socket itself – that they have no quota to fear.

There is risk minimization. Everyone is happy. The enthusiastic delegates who in practice have not been promised anything. And the people of childbearing age who are likely to get take out all their maternity leave before the regulations are forcing them to split fifty / fifty.

But while no will set Löfven accountable to nothing more happened on the parental front at the next election is the second concrete goals that will cause him the greater concern. This includes the goal of the EU’s lowest unemployment rate in 2020. The party must reasonably have come a long way before the election in 2018 to not lose all credibility.

The 2020 target has been cut by both the Fiscal Council of leading Swedish economists. But Löfven maintains that it is possible and exemplifies with Germany and the United States. Economic Development and Innovation Minister Mikael Damberg based on the same two countries and notes the echoes The Saturday interview that it is demonstrably possible to do more to combat unemployment. There is no saying is that Germany halved unemployment to be largely explained by reduced unemployment benefit and the emergence of new low-wage jobs. And the USA, where it can be kicked, and employed some anyway, is highlighted as a good example of a convention which stormed to the general temporary employment seems undeniably a little odd.

But this weekend all sing with the angels. Not even the LO’s Karl-Petter Thorwaldsson had in his speech on Sunday no objection even though he faced Congress demanded a clearer plan and more of leveraged investments. The Social Democrats in spenderbyxefalangen have certainly been hearing for the occasional bet. But what does it mean when the message from Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson remains that every effort should be funded dollar for dollar.

Stefan Löfven is still on honeymoon. The party still remember all too well how difficult it was to find a leader and want for anything in the world do not have to start panning around in districts once again. But to Congress in 2017, he must come up with more than high-flying goals and references to the difficult parliamentary situation.
