Someone who is looking forward to a Social Democratic one-party government is Payam Moula, editor-in-chief of the Social Democratic newspaper Tiden.
- We want to go further than the Green Party in matters of segregation and law enforcement.
So I have actually longed, and I think more Social Democrats have done that.
If Magdalena Andersson is re-elected to the post of Prime Minister next week, she will form a government consisting only of Social Democratic government councils.
"Navigate independently"
This has not been the case in almost two decades when Göran Persson was party chairman and head of an entirely S-labeled government.
Many within the party seem to long for that situation.
One of them is Jimmy Jansson, Social Democrat and chairman of the municipal board in Eskilstuna.
- I think it is good if the party can navigate independently, be clear with its policy and seek support for it, he says.
- Then we must be honest with the fact that there are quite a few voters who actually sympathize with the Social Democrats but who are not completely comfortable with the cooperation with the Green Party.
Who could they be?
- Many LO voters, for example, who see that they have not become winners on the proposals that have come from the government.
Continued negotiations
But a Social Democratic government will still have far too few seats in the Riksdag to be able to get its policy through, and will therefore have to seek support from several other parties.
It does not necessarily have to be a problem, says Payam Moula.
The situation that has prevailed in the government so far has meant constant negotiations and compromises with the Green Party even before the proposal was presented to the Riksdag for even more negotiations.
- In the Danish parliament, the Social Democrats are about as big as in Sweden and there are about as many parties as in the Riksdag.
They have found a model where they put forward proposals and then the parties who like the proposals get to vote for them.
