In his first speech as the new party leader for the Left Party, Nooshi Dadgostar clearly stated the party's attitude towards the continued handling of the las issue.

The Left Party will not, she emphasized, accept new labor law legislation unless LO is on the train.

If the government and the January parties run over LO in this matter, Stefan Löfven can not remain as prime minister, was Dadgostar's message.

Both she and the Prime Minister are well aware that there is a majority in the Riksdag which in that case is ready to remove Löfven.

But how far Nooshi Dadgostar is actually prepared to go is of course impossible to answer today.

Hard to back up

After the harsh tones in Sunday's speech, however, it will be difficult for her to back down on the issue later.

At the same time, a declaration of no confidence would lead to a government crisis and in the long run could pave the way for the moderate leader Ulf Kristersson as prime minister.

No matter what, the Left Party concludes that there are voters to be gained from maintaining pressure on the government in the las issue.

This autumn's opinion development, where the Left Party has progressed, strengthens this view.

The issue is also closely linked to the Left Party's overall strategy of making inroads into the LO collective.

Job security is also traditionally a parade issue for the political left.

When the Social Democrats now cooperate with the Center Party and the Liberals, and have accepted a changed labor law within the framework of the January agreement, it creates opportunities for the Left Party.

Rural and workers' voters

The party is still weak among LO voters and in rural areas.

The party congress has therefore pointed out as a stated strategy to grow in precisely these groups of voters.

In this strategy, the las issue will be an important component in reaching traditional workers' voters and LO members.

Nooshi Dadgostar's message about continued fighting in the las issue was also delivered in a speech that could largely have been given by LO's chairman.

The references to workers in many LO unions were numerous and praiseworthy, while the historical starting point for the speech was the Social Democratic icon, August Palm.

The direction of travel is thus clear to the new left-wing leader.

It is the continued broadening of the party that applies.

Jonas Sjöstedt has laid the foundation and the new party leader's ambition is to continue on the established path.

At the same time, a generational change has now been implemented within the Left Party.

In addition, a change of party leader in the party has seldom taken place as smoothly as this time.

Silent about migration policy

But several difficult challenges await the new party leader Nooshi Dadgostar, even if he takes over a party in tailwind.

The Las issue may be important for several LO members, but what has led many of them to change party to the Sweden Democrats in recent years is migration policy.

And the question is whether the Left Party is a realistic alternative today for these voters.

Nooshi Dadgostar also did not touch on migration policy in a word in his speech today.
