Letter to the editor. The left party should break the deadlock

The formation of the Swedish government is taking a long time. The climate and welfare cannot afford that.

Voters don't like this. Opinion polls show that V leader Nooshi Dadgostar has the lowest trust among party leaders, while the Moderate party leader Ulf Kristersson is making strong progress. In a by-election, the Tidö parties would probably win.

The red-green opposition squandered a clear advantage in the election campaign, mainly because there was a lack of unifying leadership with political content. Party tactics were allowed to rule – not the best interests of the country.

Now we are where we are, and some party has to break the deadlock. The Social Democrats seem reluctant to take on the leader's shirt, which in itself is a major weakness. Then someone else in the red-green majority has to do it. Sweden needs a new direction in politics after four years with the Tidöparties.

My conclusion is that the Left Party must be the party that breaks the deadlock. I can understand that previous experiences of being influenced by the Social Democrats penetrate deep into the souls of the party leadership. But we must realize that the Left Party's demand on the Center Party to "choose a side" is, if possible, more difficult. The Center is a bourgeois party, which has to make major concessions to negotiate policy with the Left Party.

It would be to show leadership for the country.

Therefore, V now has to say: Okay, we give up government seats, but we want a political agreement that includes, for example:

● That V participates in coordination at government level, above all when it comes to budget work.

● That there should be investments in the common welfare and the eroded social insurance system.

● That there should be a profit ban introduced primarily with regard to the school.

● That very large fortunes must begin to be taxed.

These are matters of fact that are supported by a large majority – even among the Center Party's voters. It would be to show leadership for the country.
