- It is very boring and it feels incredibly unnecessary to throw Sweden out in such uncertainty, says the center-right municipal councilor Vicki Skure-Eriksson.
The Left Party was the party behind the no-confidence vote.
- From our side, it has not been an easy decision.
But we have felt that we ended up in a situation where we had no choice.
We reached the end of the road, you could say.
It has not been easy but it has become necessary, says Linn Wegemo, chairman of the Left Party in Västerås.
The Sweden Democrats' chairman in Västmanland welcomes the no-confidence motion.
- It's great, A gratifying message, says Ewa Olsson Bergstedt, chairman of the Sweden Democrats in Västmanland.
Amanda Grönlund, party district chairman of the Christian Democrats in Västmanland, also reacts positively to Stefan Löfven being voted down.
- This is a historic day.
We have been involved in overthrowing Löfven because we never wanted him as prime minister, says Amanda Grönlund.
The Moderates' opposition councilor Elisabeth Unell is not surprised by the result of the vote.
- I am surprised that it has still gone as far as it has gone.
It has been a matter of time before the Prime Minister would fall, says Elisabeth Unell.
