Letter to the editor. Shameful that Kristersson still speaks for Sweden

It increasingly tends to be months before a political election affects the board of Sweden. This year's election has resulted in a new majority in the Riksdag. The Swedish people have voted for a change. More than a month has passed since the election was counted. But just as ossified, it is the ousted prime minister who is Brussels and negotiates with other EU countries about Sweden's future.

Constitutionally, it is pure nip and tuck. A country cannot, after an election, wait for months for its legal prime minister. In Sweden it is like that. In 2018, it took 4.5 months.

Sweden must change its constitution. The Riksdag must be given the right to make demands on the political parties. They must be required to make a decision that the election of the prime minister must take place no later than one week after the official election results have been determined.

The then-elected new prime minister then immediately takes over government power. And is thus the new head of government and the one who represents Sweden. The incumbent prime minister resigns while the ministers remain in office. During the transition, they work as an apolitical expeditionary government.

The new prime minister is given one month to form a new government. If he fails to do so, new elections are called.

Some sensible order is needed to strengthen democracy in our country. It is shameful that a democracy like Sweden is internationally represented in the EU and in the world by a Prime Minister deposed in democratic elections.
