He rejected a new election within three months because Sweden was still struggling with the pandemic, as the Social Democrat emphasized.
Now the ball lies with the President of Parliament, Andreas Norlen. He must be on the lookout for a candidate who can fill the mandate to form a new government. And that brings Löfven back into play, who can count on the support of the Greens and the Left Party. “I am available to lead a government that the Reichstag can tolerate,” said the 63-year-old.
Center Party as a tip
If he manages to get the Center Party on his side, he would have 175 of the 349 votes in the Reichstag – enough to win a vote of confidence.
However, Ulf Kristersson, head of the “moderate”, is also working on a bourgeois majority. In addition to the Center Party, however, he would also need the right-wing populist Sweden Democrats, with whom no one has wanted to cooperate so far.
