Annika Andersson (C), who is a municipal councilor in Vilhelmina, is worried about the outcome of the no-confidence vote.

- It's boring in many ways.

Support and the like that come with the autumn budget is very important for planning in our municipality, now it feels uncertain, says Annika Andersson.

Mikael Lindfors (S), municipal councilor in Norsjö, is on the same track.

- The government has handled it fantastically well during the pandemic, I as a municipal representative have received a lot of help from the state.

I'm terrified of what's going to happen now.

The background to the government crisis is that the Left Party's Nooshi Dadgostar no longer has confidence in Stefan Löfven as the government did not want to agree to the Left Party's demand to stop the investigation proposal on free renting on newly produced tenancies.

Surprised by the outcome

Nooshi Dadgostar's party colleague Lennart Gustavsson (V), municipal councilor in Malå, was surprised by the outcome of the vote.

- I thought they would solve this, but the Left Party must fulfill what they promised when the January agreement was signed.

My hope is that Stefan Löfven returns as Prime Minister and gives the Left Party greater political influence.

For municipal policy, he believes the government crisis will be negative.

- We depend on stability and predictability.

"Dependence on stability"

Christina Lidström (M), municipal councilor in Bjurholm, does not dare to speculate on whether today's vote will mean new opportunities for Ulf Kristersson to become prime minister.

- At present, we do not know what will come out of this, who will sit in a future government.

- As a politician in Sweden's smallest municipality, you are dependent on stability.
