Why It Matters
Ulf Kristersson has the probe mission to examine the conditions for a government with M, L, KD and C after the parliamentary election.
M leader Ulf Kristersson currently has the probe mission to investigate the possibilities for a government with the four bourgeois parties M, L, KD and C. This mission was extended after the Sweden Democrats' announcement on Friday that the party is dropping its demand for ministerial posts. SD would tolerate Ulf Kristersson by pressing abstention in a prime ministerial vote, stated Jimmie Åkesson.
But if a bourgeois four-party alliance takes office, the Social Democrats will go into full opposition, Andersson writes on Instagram:
"We would go in full opposition to a Tidö 2 government and not participate in any negotiations with such a government constellation. It can be written off completely."
According to Andersson, an M, L, KD and C government would become dependent on the Sweden Democrats and in practice become "a Tidö government". At the same time, she warns that it would violate the Center Party's most important election promise,
Magdalena Andersson further writes that the party is working for the red-green side to form a government.
"We continue to work with full force to form a government that can make the policy that the Swedish people voted for earlier last autumn a reality."
After Jimmie Åkesson's announcement to go into opposition, C leader Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist announced that the party is willing to support prime ministerial candidates from both S and M, but added that Andersson is still the party's most likely candidate.
She also gave M and S a week to present a "total package" for how they want to govern Sweden. The red lines against sitting in a government that includes V or SD are also fixed.
