Chicks...
Since few there seem to like or support her agenda, was her appointment
rigged in the first place?
“The budget that passed included the Anti-Immigrant Far Right Party”
That is TOTAL BS. The party they’re referring to is the Swedish Democrats. They are DEMOCRATS and therefore they only want what’s best for Sweden...to call them ‘far right’ is SLANDER.
Did she just change her mind?
Bunch of crybabies.
Why did she willingly fall into the trap that Åkesson set? Enough abstains to make her PM, then humiliate her with the same abstains voting for the budget. Reason alone to keep her out of the PM seat.
She had to step down when the Greens left her coalition.
The Sweden Democrats that the Swedish Left is so hyper-ventilating about would be regarded as very moderate by US standards. Here’s their platform
They want an end to Third World immigration and “refugees”. They don’t want immigrants who would immediately just go on welfare. They want welfare benefits to be limited to Swedish citizens.
She changed her mind 🤪
For the past few years, the center-left Social Democrats have ruled with the actual or tacit support of one or more center-right parties, in addition to support from parties to its left. The deal has been: the Social Democrats can rule BUT ... the parties to the right of center set the budget, keeping Sweden’s budget in balance and its tax burden unchanged.
The far left parties chafe (feel restricted) under this arrangement. And, so, after the latest budget, one of the two parties to the left of the Social Democrats (the Greens) withdrew their support.
As to why the parties of the right (the Moderates, Liberals, Christian Democrats and Center Party, along with the populist Swedish Democrats) don’t just form government themselves, it is because the Swedish Democrats are considered anathema to some among the right. As a result, there are three factions in the Swedish parliament, none of which can gain a majority by itself: the left, the moderate right, and the populist right. So, some kind of deal has to be made.
A growing number of Swedes are of the opinion that the current foolishness has been going on for too long, and that the parties of the right should get over their differences (through compromises and such) and form the government.
“Europe’s in turmoil” because a Swedish PM resigned. 😂
The Green Party is green like a watermelon. Only green on the outside but RED on the inside.
The far left doesn’t exist in Europe apparently
