ANALYSIS: "As a revival meeting with Annie Lööf as high priest"

The question is whether any of the parties behind the 73-point program made such a complete reversal as the Center Party.

Within the Social Democrats, it is already gnawing at the concessions the party has been forced to. The Liberals are greatly weakened and deeply divided. In the Center Party, on the other hand, the so-called January agreement is celebrated in the nearest union.

The party leadership does everything to sell the settlement as a great success for the party itself.

And then it is not only the content of the settlement that is described as a success. The center parties also pay tribute to themselves for in this way stopping Sweden's Democrats from political influence.

All this is clearly visible at the Center Party's meeting held in Karlstad this weekend. Party leader Annie Lööf himself holds the clock.

If the party meeting were a revival meeting, Annie Lööf is the high priest. In a few years she has gained an extremely strong position in her party. Where she points, there goes the party. No one seems to question her choice, although most people here in the hall regarded what is now happening as something entirely unthinkable as late as a couple of years ago.

Everyone you meet here at the party meeting is in agreement that the Center Party did quite the right thing, fumbling the Alliance and instead gave the Social Democrats their support in the prime ministerial issue. The exchange of interests is described as decisive for this.

But as a consequence of the settlement, the rhetoric has also been adapted. The criticism against the Social Democrats is sharply dimmed. In Annie Lööf's introductory speech, it is instead the old alliance colleagues who get a kick out of skipping government talks about gang crime.

When you walk around and talk to the representatives at the meeting, a different picture emerges partly. Sure, everyone seems to agree that it was right of the party to choose this route. But at the same time there is a nagging concern under the surface. A concern about what this collaboration can lead to for the Center Party in the long run.

The party has set out on unknown terrain and no one really knows where this journey ends. Although the Center Party won short-term political success in the short term, it is not certain that the electorate will reward the party.

Collaborating with an S-led government can be difficult for a prominent liberal party with mainly bourgeois voters. The risk is that the party will lose both voter support and confidence in potential voter groups in a few years' time.

But right now there is obviously no interest in discussing these long-term challenges for the party. Now it is more important to consolidate the party behind the new main task; to continue the cooperation with the S-led government.

And here is the obvious strategy to try to push the Social Democrats into new political concessions.

At the party meeting in Karlstad, new decisions are now being made that may have a bearing on the continued cooperation with the government. Several of the decisions here, not least about economic policy, are said to be difficult to digest for the Social Democrats.

For example, the Center Party wants to completely scrap today's turnaround rules based on hiring time. In addition, the trade union's ability to take action against small companies should be limited. The Center Party also wants to continue to reduce taxes on jobs and entrepreneurship. These, the party believes, are important targets for a new tax reform.

But these goals are hardly consistent with the Social Democrats' goal of reducing economic gaps in society, a discussion that has taken renewed momentum after the decision to eliminate the tax on high-income people.

The question is also how lenient the Social Democrats will be in the next debate. Within the party, there is a growing internal opinion towards pushing through a policy that runs counter to what the party promised in the electoral movement.

Continuing the electoral flight from the Social Democrats, the party's readiness to attend the Center Party will decrease further.

So despite the hallelujah sentiment at the Center Party party meeting, it is thus concluded that the cooperation with the Social Democrats will now enter a much more difficult phase where it is not as obvious that Annie Lööf gets through her heart issues.
