Letter to the editor. Let S and MP form a government with the support of V and C

In many places we can read that the Left Party and its leader Nooshi Dadgostar place the responsibility for the problem with the formation of the government on the Center Party's red line.

In my opinion, the best government we can get, with the election results we got, is a minority government with the Social Democrats and the Green Party, where V and C are supporting parties, with an agreement like the Tidö government made with the Sweden Democrats.

I think Dadgostar should think a little further than what she is doing and not force an extra election. Since she became party leader of the Left Party, she has tried to become a minister. One can sometimes wonder if it is to maximize the influence of the Left Party or for the sake of one's own person and gain.

Maybe she should look at history. I am so old that I have experienced the Left Party since they called themselves the Communist Party of Sweden (SKP). I started following politics during CH Hermansson's time when he was party leader for SKP.

I have never sympathized with the Communists. But they have always been a support party for the Social Democrats, who often govern with minority governments. During the whole time, they negotiated with SKP, which changed its name to first the Left Party Communists and later, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, just the Left Party in order to gain a majority in the Riksdag chamber.

It would be a better way forward for V and also C to negotiate the budget and parliamentary decisions instead of risking a by-election. The risk of a by-election would be that we would get a right-wing majority in the Riksdag and that SD would then dominate in a moderate-led Tidö government.

I don't think V, C, MP or S want such a government. And I also don't think that a government dominated by SD would serve our country.
