Editorial: New-old mouthpiece with old worries – Vestmanlands County Newspaper

That went as expected. Green Party spokesperson chose reinvention. Election of Isabella Lövin and re-election of Gustav Fridolin.

Too bad about Åsa Romson, who was fired after the mess the past few weeks. Although Gustav Fridolin had greater responsibility for the recruitment of Mehmet Kaplan and yasri khan.

How can it be in politics. Romson had made several mistakes in the past, and Fridolin had ever since his time as a “child prodigy” a strong position in the party.

When it was an interested and competent female spokesperson candidate, and short of male got Fridolin remain . The vote showed that confidence in him is tarnished.

Isabella Lövin is the one that today has the strongest support of the two languages ​​tubes. A new experience for Fridolin.

The big question is not who the spokesperson, but the Green Party is to survive as a small party in a minority government.

The newly elected spokesmen claimed cocky that 70 percent of the party’s election promises are about to be implemented. Others, including party veterans Gahrton and Maria Wetterstrand, believes, however, that there have been too few successes and many concessions in cooperation with the Government accustomed Social-Democrats.

Green Party are raising happy until they are involved in the control of many local governments. Not least in Västmanland.De hoping for a similar role as it sought the ruling party.

However, it is much more difficult to be with the government than to be part of a local majority. Experience from other countries is not encouraging.

The Greens themselves have gone through how it has gone for the reigning Green parties in other countries. It’s been like that, even if there are examples of success.

In recent years, parties reminiscent of the Green Party failed. In Denmark and Norway, the Socialist People’s Party and the Socialist Left and the Greens more libertarian than the Swedish Left Party. They have both been with the government, has taken responsibility, and lost many voters.

The British Liberal Democrats (Lib Dem) also reminded some of the Green Party. They long been in opposition, but with the experience to control locally. Caught up idealists and unhappy, was skeptical about nuclear power.

When the Lib Dem formed a government with the conservatives could show sakpolitiska success. But they seemed small, and the party was crushed in the next election.

In Sweden there is also the Left Party, which does not miss any opportunity to criticize the Green Party for compromise in the government.

Now requires a tougher action on such a refugee amnesty, NATO and peace policy, abolition of identity checks and Vattenfall coal.

It will be a difficult balancing act. MP needs to demonstrate clear success, but the Social Democrats can threaten to form a one-party government.
