Speaker's message: Prime Minister's vote on Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist (C)

However, Andreas Norlén expects the C leader to fall in the vote and she herself has been clear that she herself does not intend to become prime minister. The Speaker may propose a maximum of four different candidates for the Riksdag before there must be a by-election. It is now 46 days since the election.

- Sometimes I can think that there is a bit of a rant about the situation, but I have great respect for the parties facing difficult elections, says Andreas Norlén during a press conference about the protracted process.

The C leader: Will take responsibility

Two weeks ago, S leader Magdalena Andersson was voted down in a vote on her as prime minister in a social democratic one-party government.

The red lines between C and V appear to be fixed.

The probe task then went to Elisabeth Thand Ringqvist (C), who announced this week that there is a lack of parliamentary support for a central government.

After the speaker's new announcement, she writes in a comment to SVT:

"The Center Party will continue to take responsibility and contribute constructively to Sweden getting a government. That's why I have accepted to be tested as prime ministerial candidate for a centrist government consisting of the Center Party, the Social Democrats, the Christian Democrats, the Green Party and the Liberals."

Then the assignment goes to Kristersson

If Thand Ringqvist, as expected, falls on Tuesday, the probe assignment will go directly to current Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson (M), the Speaker announces.

He is given a week to probe, until November 10. But the speaker has not yet decided whether there will be a prime ministerial vote on him immediately after that.

- If it is also carried out, then we only have one left. This means that there is reason to be a little cautious with the third vote. It is natural that if Ulf Kristersson comes back and has not succeeded in forming a government, that before we go to a third vote, I also agree with the red-green side if they have progressed there, says Andreas Norlén.
