A snap election was never an option, it would have been suicide for MP and a bad deal for S.

e: Sifo currently (as of June 18) has MP at 3.5% and S at 25.8%, down from 4.4% and 28.3% respectively in 2018. They had absolutely nothing to gain from a snap election.

Yeah, extra election is not the rational choice of a regeringskåt sosse but the fact it would turbofuck L makes it worth it imo.

If not a snap election, the likeliest outcome judging by numbers in Riksdagen is that Stefan returns to the post. I think such an event might just break right-wing Twitter.

Also laughed at Löfven's narrative that V has aligned itself with the right-wing block. Classy guy. Working real hard to burn any remaining bridges with V.

Genuinely starting to worry he himself is the liability here. Couldn't even get his government coalition to a table for discussions, much less an agreement.

If his one trick is waiting followed by concessions then he's dead in the water, possibly forever. No concessions he can deliver will reign in C.

Not really, that is the expectation among the right wing, that C will break to S and agree to collaborate with V.

How would that even look in practice? S, V and possibly MP gets to pick their people and positions and she gets an uncooperative mess that will vote her out at slightest provocation or she gets her pick of positions and totally abdicates any control over budget?

Above all, Ulf Kristersson wants to be prime minister (to get revenge on Reinfeldt and prove that he is a big tiny man). He'll never accept less, because in his view this is what life owes to him.

When exactly has Löfven been a competent negotiator? He has consistently sold out everything his party stands for, to cling onto power - and every time "the great negotiatior" has gone to the EU to negotiate about refugees, EU fees, and bailout packages he has come back with nothing or even worse deals for Sweden.

If you want to drat him with faint praise, you could say that he's proven to be a better negotiator than Ulf Kristersson.

That means jack poo poo coming from the party who was against privatization of healthcare until Svenskt Näringsliv sprinkled enough fancy dinners their way.

The issue is politically dead for now, this is true. But down the line someone will try and weasel it back in.

it's the arc of our time's history. but warding it off this resolutely was a good thing, that arc itself changes - and this policy matters a great deal to real life people in the here and now. it also shows that V is a party with teeth when push comes to shove, which is extremely valuable

The police union tried to pitch the very reasonable narrative that maybe the police shouldn't be stretched so thinly during midnight operations, so I expect that to be drowned out before the day is over by suggestions for more privatized policing, increased surveillance and crackdowns on anyone with a darker pigmentation.

I recall some traffic accident that killed one since then. This is probably the first police murder since Malexander, unless I’m mistaken.

Kristersson is already harping on his promises of tougher action against crime. Åkesson, predictably, takes the opportunity to complain about general safety in society.

A cursory glance on Twitter informs me that this is the apocalypse and Löfven/Lööf themselves loaded the weapon, so all in all, very respectful restraint.
